Hello, can anyone help. I'm looking for the family of Benjamin Cunningham who we think was born around 1814-1816. We know he was married to a Sarah Clifford and later remarried a Jane Bailey, they were married on the 5 november 1827 in Bristol. We are not sure if he was born in Bristol or not.

Dear Anne

I have just found your message, and am also researching the same family.

I do know that Benjamin couldn't have been born circa 1814, because he has a son named William born about 1815 to Benjamin and Sarah Clifford. William was found guilty in the Bristol Quarter Sessions of larceny and sentenced to 7 years transportation to Tasmania in 1835. The basic record states that he was 20yo at the time of sentencing.

Have you found out any other information about Benjamin and Sarah?

Regards,
Dianne

Hi Dianne, good advice from Ann. You could also try putting the names you are looking for into the search box above to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the site owner. Cx.
