Born in Stoke Lyne, but moved from Stoke Lyne between 1816 and 1820 to Long Crendon (see map). The 1851 census shows John’s brother William and Mother Mary Blincow (nee Walsbey) living in Long Crendon by that year.
Note: using the name BLINCOE as this is the name recorded at death and surname spelling unsure for birth. Various recorded spellings Blencowe, Blinker, Blenker, Blinco, and Blincoe!

Note: From Mabel Head re Hollier’s Yard location “John Hollier owned a large part of the land at the far end of the High Street, on an 1827 map it also shows the piece in Jesses Lane. “ It may well be then that the Blinko’s were in the same cottage in 1851.

First Name Savinah
Confusion about the first name probably because of its rarity, census records show Lavinia, Lavinah, Savinah and other records show Sabrina and possibly Sabina. Having started out in 2003 thinking Sabina was the correct name I have recently re-examined the census images and think 1871 definitely says Lavinah. and 1881 Savinah. However Savinah is the correct spelling.
Marriage 17th May 1837 Waddesdon
