Thomas Frank Blinks 1952 — 2012

I was sorry to learn that one of our most enthusiastic members died on 11 March just days after sending in the Notable Blencowe article on his ancestor, the Sporting Artist, Thomas Blinks (1853-1910). Tom, of Robertsbridge, East Sussex, was not married. He was born in Kent to Donald and Helena Blinks. His parents and sister, Susan (1947-1963) all pre deceased him. Sadly, Tom appears to have been the end of his line.
