Yes, but looking for what info ? His death ? His parents/ancestors? His Birth, His Descendants ?

How does he fit into your tree?
He must be connected somehow either by parents, siblings or children.

Do you know the names of his parents??

How old was he in 1842??

There is death for a Henry Blandford in NSW in 1911.

You can search the NSW BDM for free.
