One reply on “Where is the Blacknell family from?”
I am a Blacknell and my family have lived in Seaham for a long time. Joseph Blacknell came to Seaham with Lord Byron as a horse trainer. Many of the Blacknell family are buried close to the Byron family in Hucknall, Nottingham. Seaham Hall, where Byron came after his marriage to Isabella, is now a spa.
I frequently walk along the same cliffs Lord Byron did and to get to the sea I walk down Lord Byron’s wall
