He was buried ^{4, 5} on 05 Feb 1971 in Brookside Cemetery, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Percy married ⁶ Ethel Foster PARTRIDGE on 23 Jun 1909 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Percy was counted in a census ⁷ on 03 Apr 1881 in Sisland, Norfolk. He was counted in a census on 05 Apr 1891 in White House, Sisland, Norfolk. He was counted in a census ⁸ on 31 Mar 1901 in 23, Market Place, Southwold, Suffolk. He was counted in a census in 1911 in 740, Toronto Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was counted in a census in 1916 in Woodlands, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada.

Received a legacy from his Uncle George BLUNDERFIELD (B0501), Gentleman of Cawston, when his Will was proved in February 1887

The FreeREG Project have Percy's baptism down as Apr 1879. This is several months before the birth of Percy was registered.

At the time of the 1901 Census, Percy was living in Southwold, Suffolk, with his Brother in Law Herbert Boggis.

Percy emigrated to Canada in July 1907. He appears in the Passenger manifest for the 'Empress of Ireland' which sailed from Liverpool  to Quebec, arriving on the 5th July 1907. He was recorded as single, aged 27 years, a farmer from Norfolk with Winnipeg as his final destination. There is a stamp next to several of the passengers, including Percy, saying 'British Bonus Allowed', could this be some form of assisted passage?

Ethel Foster PARTRIDGE [scrapbook] ¹ was born in Aug 1881 in Lake Francis, Manitoba, Canada. She died in 1942. Ethel married ² Percy Page BLUNDERFIELD on 23 Jun 1909 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Ethel was counted in a census in 1911 in 740, Toronto Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She was counted in a census in 1916 in Woodlands, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada.

In the 1911 Census of Canada, Ethel's country of birth is recorded as England. Was this an enumeration error. There are several Ethel Partridge's registered in the UK between 1879 and 1883 but none in Aug 1881 and none with the second name of Foster or initial F.  

In 1913, Ethel and her 3 year old son John, travelled from Quebec aboard the Empress of Ireland, arriving in Liverpool on the 20th November. Her occupation was stated as housewife and her age as 31. They returned to Quebec aboard the same ship from Liverpool on the 14th April 1914. This time her age was recorded as 26 (quite a rejuvinating trip!)

There is a burial record at Brookside Cemetery, Winnipeg (Ref: 60-0221-0) for an infant Blunderfield who died on the 3 Apr 1917 (buried 9 Apr 1917). The website didn't give any parent details but the child seems more likely to have been Percy and Ethels rather than George and Ella Mays.
