Hi,

Sorry for late reply been on Holiday

Thanks for your note, I'm still on the list but I have not followed up things from the thread, I really should have the marriage certificate to determine the parents of 1837.

The Littleport Registers have been searched  but are inconclusive I'm told, so may be coming up against a brick wall. Possibly in another Church although  church registers as listed and copied  are not too clear, Maybe too many Benton's to follow, certainly later in the late 1800's there were some large families.

Regards

Roy

Thanks for the attempt to help,

Unfortunately that hasn't worked.

The previous reply had guided me to the census records at St Patricks Hill. I'm sure that my Marion Horne was a servant to an English Family and in the postcard of 1908 from Cork she shows the address. It is the house of interest which would give me the family she perhaps worked for or who were in residence.

The house's name is "Edmonton" St Patricks Hill Cork

Many thanks for the advice

Hi again and thanks for the messages however the thread by Bedfordshire Boy on the Bentons; previously sent out has caused me to rethink about Mark Benton and father of Isaac Benton who I know from tracking the Census records is the line I require.

But there are two Isaac Bentons on the 1841 census and one lives with his father in Ely and the one I'm following is in Littleport. So I come back to the Littleport registers and perhaps they are not listed in the Cambridgeshire records.

I have a Isaac Benton marrying Oct-Dec 1837a Mary Amiger which fits as they were having children until 1864 (at least 9) including Mark born 1854.

There must have been Isaac Benton born around 1818 probably in Littleport, which aren't for some listed although on the Cambridgeshire birth records.

So need access to the church records of Littleport to confirm if there were christenings  and marriages around this time Census records show on HO107/77/13 both Isaac Bentons the elder with his wife Susanna and four children living two doors away.

Help again

Roy

That was quick, Bedfordshireboy many thanks

Yes I have a birth of Isaac Benton in 1819 to a Mark and Catherine Benton, so I have my answer. Checking on the census indexes I have the family in the 1841 and 1851 although living in Ely. Isaac has married and moved to Littleport in 1841.

So the next question is Where did Mark and Catherine get Married and when was Mark born and where? Somewhere in Ely I presume? His age in the 1841 census is 50, so must be just after 1791

Thanks for both of the messages, Having looked through the links you kindly gave me it still doesn't give me the family she may have stayed there with. I know she was a servant and I hoped to confirm the name of the family that may have taken her over to Ireland with them. I wonder if there is a house in Cork named Edmonton close by to St Patrick's Hill

Perhaps Wishful thinking!!!!!!!!!!
