A number of my ancestors moved from the area to Normanton in the 1870s-80s. They were all coal miners and might well have known the family 

What was their address in Normanton?

Just to clarify, there's another Benjamin Bowen, just a few years younger, also married to a Mary and living in Cefn. He;s a shopkeeper/grocer

The marriage that Osprey found has Benjamin as a puddler.  The Edward that I found in 1881 had his father(Benjamin)  listed as a labourer.
