I have a Bible with a Fanny Blofeld born Dec 11th 1860 married to a Rackshaw Sept 6th 1886. Is it of interest to you.
Regards
Brian

I am also a descendant of Captain Richard Blofeld (via his son Richard Blofeld III).
I've also been told by my family that he had an affair wife one of Queen Victoria's daughters & was released from service which is when he came to America and started a new family.

Information from: William Martin's WV Genealogy & History Website:
CAPT. Richard Blofeld was born in England. He was the son of Richard & Mary Blofeld. He was the Captain of the Body Guard of her majesty Queen Victoria. Richard and his first wife were very close and personal friends of Queen Victoria. He lost his four sons to the Battle of Lucknow, India in 1858, and his wife shortly thereafter to cancer. He became very depressed and migrated to the US after being urged by his old friend Captain James Richardson to start a new life in the Wilderness.
