Henry Flesher Bland (1818–1898) was a Methodist minister in the Wesleyan tradition. Bland was born on 23 August 1818 in Addingham, England, to a family long rooted in the faith. He spent his early adulthood in England and participated in church work as a lay preacher. He married Emma Levell in 1846. Bland and his family emigrated to Lower Canada in 1858 and took up residence in Montreal. A lack of church funds made his permanent employment there unlikely.
