William Long and Ann Blamey were married at Gwennap on the 10th August 1783. Neither could read or write as both signed the marriage register with a cross. The witnesses were Daniel Blamey, brother of the bride, and John Barnett.
The Blamey family also lived in Gwennap. Ann was most likely the daughter of John and Catherine Blamey. John Blamey married Catherine Quick in 1747 at Gwennap. They had fifteen children: John 1748, James 1749, Catherine 1750, Elisabeth 1753, Ann 1754, Daniel 1756, Mary 1758, Joel 1759, Mary 1761, Leah 1762, Francis 1764, Catherine 1765, Jane 1766, Ambrose 1768 and William 1770. Probably more than one of these children died in childhood. Altogether there were at least eight Blamey families in Gwennap around the time Ann was born, probably all related. Of the three Ann Blameys born in Gwennap between 1751 and 1759, only John's daughter (see above) had a brother Daniel (later to be witness at her wedding.)
