Hi
Thanks for the info on the Benton family i have since found them in the 1841 census. I have found them in the 1881 census but not the 1851. William henry benton's father was a john benton born 1809 wisbech,cambs his parent's were a william and alice benton. I need to apply for the birth of john and his wife sarah children born later then 1837 to see what sarah benton's maiden name was. The interesting fact about the benton's was that most were in the shoe trade maybe they were all related if i can go up with the marriage of william and alice benton the parents of john. John benton died in 1892 thetford as they moved to norfolk. Lisa
