Luck family Blackwell? - Blackwell
Looking for any information re William Luck born c1785. In various census papers it says he is born in Blackwell. As there is a Blackwell near Darlington it has always been assumed that he came from there, however in the 1851 census he says he was born in Sunderland. We have established that there is a "Blackwell" in or near Sunderland so maybe that is where he came from. He married Mary Walker in Mansfield in 1805. They lived in 'the Boathouse'. His son Stephen married Jane Stamp in 1851. They were the parents of my gt grandmother Hannah Luck. Any information - especially where William and Mary came from gratefully received.
