Louie Benge b 1897 is on the census for 1901 with their family
Ellen Benge b 1873(crouch)Mum
George Benge b 1869 d 1925..Batlle Dad

But when I look for a marriage and death, I cannot trace them at all.

I have been on here and Free BMD but nothing shows?

Anybody able to have a look please?

Thanks
Florence in the hebrides

My understanding is that ONLY Louie's marriage and death were being sought by the OP

BTW, Florence, looking on here for BMD's is usually pointless ;-)

Louie married Alfred John John Gee in Saskat.. on 25/2/1920 - from Ancestry trees.

Could only find the siblings marriages on freebmd by entering Beng* :-S
So was worth asking for help.

greyghost Report 24 Aug 2023 14:56

I read the OP differently to you ErikaH. No death date was shown for Ellen so could have meant that was needed. John 's date of death incorrect so found that and the OP could have meant that the marriage for Louie's parent hadn't been found.

Looks like we both posted an unrequired 1921 ........... :-(

My 'take' on the OP's requirements, GG, was based on the title of the thread.............

Not that it matters...........the info has been provided, by whatever means ;-) ;-)

I posted 1921 for 'interest'.....as I said at the time, as I’d already posted what I thought was asked for
