I was born the 28th of november 1757 in London.
My father's name is James Blake and he is a knitter.My mother's name is Catherine Wright Armitage Blake. She provided most of my education while she was taking care of us.
I had a younger brother, Robert, who died.
My wife is Catherine Boucher Blake and we were married on August 18th, 1782.
Since I was kid I had visions, that helped me in my work. I went to the Henry Pars' drawing school.
