 what with this lock down.having more time to go over certain family  members. just read a repport of my Benjamin in the hull daily mail Thursday 14th November 1912.
 A remarkable case of   erroneous  identifaction is reported from Selby on Wednesday. a mans body was recovered from the river ouse .the  body was identified as that of Benjamin  Russell tasker . a Selby joiner who had gone missing for some time. on Monday the 6th November a very much decomposed  body was found at hoden .no clothing or other articles was on the body. but were certain resemblances in the features which warrented the  brother and brother-in-law  in arriving at the conclusion .that the body was Benjamin Russell tasker. was buried as such. it now appears  that with-out a doubt a mistake was made .a  coroner has been acquainted with all the facts and a inquest will in due course be held.
 the Sheffield daily news
