Hi Trish1120,

Robert (the bootmaker) married Sarah Watler.  He was my GGGF. 
His son Benjamin John (married Cecilia Nightingale) is my GGF.
Robert John is the brother of Benjamin.
I will need to do some more digging regarding the Familysearch.org information you posted, I am not familiar with that resource, I've used Ancestry and FindMyPast for my investigations.

It is all so interesting!

Thank you very much for the very useful information!  It does seem that Robert is my GGGF!

Hi and Thank You Kay, Solidrock and Rosie99 for the replies, so quick!

My problem with tracing Benjamin is after 1861 when he appears in the census in Kent.  There is a B.F. in Holbeach Lincolnshire but he is not my Benjamin.  I can't locate a marriage certificate for Ben though he did have children, my GGF, Benjamin John Flanders, born in 1866, registered in Eastry, Kent and his record is listed on page 155 in the civil births Vol 2a Pg 745. Benjamin John then married Cecilia Nightingale in Kent. I am thinking I may need to order his birth certificate for more information.

I have it a brick wall finding out anything beyond the 1861 census for my GGF Benjamin.  His parents were Smith Flanders and Martha Flanders (nee Benton) from Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.  Smith was and Excise/Inland Revenue Officer. Any suggestions for places to look for more information?  Thanks
