Hi There......

I have looked at the parish registers from 1718-1741, and there are no baptisms for Benjamin Connah / Cunnah in them I am afraid (thinking he may have been 21 at marriage )

Benjamin and Elizabeth , appear not to have had any other children, baptised, There is a burial for a son of Ben, which took place Sept 6th 1760, and there is a burial for Benjamin , April 16th 1760.

Don't know if it is of any relevance, but there is a marriage of a Elizabeth Connah , widow , to Francis Thornton, which took place June 19th 1790. Witnesses were Edward Munnerley and William Shone .

Regards

Hi Again.....

Not sure why I missed ithem, but I have just found these baptism's......

Benjamin CUNNAH / son of Charles, baptised April 13th 1712, abode Pentrobin

Benjamin CUNNA son of Richard, baptised June 3rd 1716 , abode Ewloe.

This would have made Benjamin 36, when he married ?

I also made a typo on the death of Benjamin it was April 16th 1767. Unfortunately, no age is given.
