Title: Benson family
Post by: jen3435 on Friday 14 November 08 12:00 GMT (UK)
Hi, am looking for information on my family from Huxley, Cheshire. My gt, gt grandfather changed his name from beDson to beNson. No knowledge of why. His father was James Bedson and his mother was Sarah. He had two siblings. Joseph was born 1827 in Huxley. He was a trustee for the Methodist church there. Can anyone help as i've hit a brick wall. Thanks.
