Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 143 Send Message	Hi Genes members I am wondering if anyone here is in My Heritage or Ancestry.com as they have information that I am after I will copy and paste the info I got off the net so it makes it easier. Benjamin Challinger was born in 1813, at birth place, to John Challinger and Phoebe Challinger (born Clayton). John was born on July 25 1790, in Darton, All Saints, Yorkshire, England. Phoebe was born in 1795, in Brotherton, Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Benjamin had 6 siblings: Twin Challinger, Charles Challinger and 4 other siblings. Benjamin married Mary Ann Challinger (born Rowbottom). Mary was born on January 17 1811, in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. They had one son: Samuel Challinger. Benjamin married Isabella Mutyuli Rigney (born Sumner). Isabella was born circa 1856, in Ngarrindjeri land, Coorong, South Australia Died in 1925 - Point Mcleay / Raukkan, South Australia See Rigney Family Genealogy From The S.A. Museum. Benjamin lived in 1841, at address. He lived in 1851, at address. His occupations were occupation and occupation. Benjamin passed away on month day 1895, at age 82 at death place. He was buried at burial place. This is the info on the net I need the marriage dates and the six siblings for Benjamin born 1813 also any birth dates for Samuel Challinger. There is also a document I cant seem to get up without joining My Heritage any help would be appreciated. Jill
