OOh Glitter babe, THank you thank you thank you! That's him, he married in Bideford later, and he was a hairdresser! How did you do that? I tried searches with L* Benham but didn't think to do it with Lionel B* (if that's what you did,) :-)))))) sarah |

my great grandfather was Lionel Sillett Benham (sure of that at least) He's on 1901 (RG13/2160) with brothers Oswald Marcus & Walter Edwin (that's ok too) Can't find him in 1891 but his brothers are aged 10 & 13 living with parents William H Benham and Caroline R. (born London)and an older sister Louisa C. aged 26 (RG12/1329) -never heard of her. In 1891 the father, William H lists as being born in *Bawdsey* Suffolk. He's a caretaker aged 54 In I881 Oswald & Walter (plus other sibs Lionel,Frank, Maria, Isabella) are living with W.H. Benham & Care. (which I guess is for Caroline -born Shoreditch) and William is now born in Islington Middlesex. (RG11/1710) He works for the GPO aged 44 In 1871 William H (born Islington)& Caroline (born Shoreditch) have totally different children. He's a postman aged 34 (RG10/1634) In 1861 William H is a 'letter carrier' aged 24 born in Islington living with his 2 sisters. (RG9/252) I'm suckered by the Suffolk thing.....and the 1871 thing (does this mean 2 wives called Caroline born in London???) Not sure what I'm expecting from this post but it's been good to set it out... Thanks for your patience! Sarah :-) |

See below:.. Could someone just look at my 1871 & 1881 Benhams (refs given below) & tell me if you think it's the same family. Another thing that's bizarre is that I have their marriage down as 1884............ Am really starting to think I'm barking up the wrong tree!!!!!........Thanks Sarah :-) |
