a possibility for James in 1841????


Name: James Benton
Age: 35
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1806
Gender: Male

Civil Parish: Portsmouth Town
Hundred: Portsmouth Borough
County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England
Registration district: Portsea Island
Sub-registration district: Portsmouth Town

He's a Private Soldier, Royal Marine Barracks, born "out of county"

If that is the correct death registration for James that ozibird found, then it explains the name of the son born in 1843 in Devon!


I'd also love to hear what you finally find out about Eliza's surname!!

Lovely. It would be great to have that follow-up.

Gotta go & do some work now.

At least you're a little further along the track!

Thank you Ozbird, just google earthed her address from the 1881 census and her great,great grandchild (my great aunt) lives about 3/4 of a mile away.

I'm off to bed now, when I get the birth cert of other children I will message you and tell you what her maiden name realy is Temple, Tempill, Tempil, Tempilly etc...

Ozbird you are a genius, well done. I just had a look, living with an old couple, thankyou Ozbird you have been excellent, and excellent help

Have you got this one?

can't see her on 1881, but that death cert is definatley correct

Thanks for the info Gwyneth and Ozbird, but looking at the 1871 & 1861 census has him from Middlesex, so that 1851 census, although correct his place of birth has just been dito'd from the family above, so not ireland.

If this is your Eliza she should be on 1881.

Death cert's don't usually have where they are from. Also the information you get on a death cert is as good as the knowledge of the person registering the death.

His death certificate will only have his address at the time of death...and place of death, if different.

Only since 1969? have death certificates included place of birth.

Ozbird, that mariage for Jane is the correct one, as it has David Powell on the same page

James would have died between the 1861 and 1871 census, probably in wales

Jsut had a thought, James Benton's death cert should have where he is from, is this correct?

Reggie found a few of Rhoda's brothers and sisters so great there, i can get their birth certs for morthers maiden name. Can't find James or Eliza in 1841 though, we found them in 1851 for definate, but it says that James is born in Ireland but I think that is a mistake, they seem to have just dito'd from the family above. Would really need to find the 1841 census for James Benton for definate he could be born 1804 or there abouts

Yes. I wonder about her (Jane) age as she would've married about 15-16 years of age. Not impossible of course.

I put the marriage index in a previous posting. His name was David. I cannot find her in any other census or the grandchildren in later census.

Ozi.

Usually the mother isn't mentioned.

It's the birth cert you need but I can't find her.

Ozi.

just seen jane born in Breconshire, that family have been in about 6 different places

Thankyou Ozbird
