Hi Wonder if anyone can help me. I have not been on here for many years so its a bit new to me again! Im looking for a marriage of a Benjamin Slote to a lady called Sarah Stokes. Benjamin was born abt 1832 as he has been found on the 1841 census aged 35 years old.
Any information would be a great help.
Thank you in advance,
Heather :)

Hello Curlyhev
Welcome back :)
A think there may be a muddle here.. Benjamin could not be aged 35 in 1841 if you believe he was
born in 1832. Have you found him with Sarah ? There is a Benjamin Sloate [sic] aged 35 (1806) with wife Elizabeth living at Holme Farm, Holme, Peterborough.
Do you have any further details for Benjamin i.e. where he may have been born ? occupation ? anything further would help find him

Wow thank you so much for the information. I knew he married a Sarah Stokes and remarried a Elizabeth but I just could not find the marriage for him and Sarah anywhere! I have that he was a agr labourer and that was about it. Sorry if I confused anyone with my dates.....im a bit out of touch with it all. I appreciate all of your help! Sarah had a son called Johnson Slote but for some reason I have written down that his father was NOT Benjamin so I was looking for the information I must have come across before to give me that impression so I was trying to start from Sarah and benjamins wedding and work from there. :)
Thank you again for all your time with my search!
