Hi there,
I'm trying to find details of baptism for a son of one of my ancestors.
His name was William BENTON and the 1841-1851 census shows him as being born around 1810 in New Town, Edinburgh. He died in Lichfield in 1859, aged 49.....His brother, Joseph BENTON, was born 1815 in Newcastle, Staffordshire.
Their parents were William BENTON, a soldier, and Elizabeth (nee COOK). They were married in Newcastle, Staffordshire in 1800.
So, looks like they must have been in Scotland for a while after marrying then moved back to Newcastle...
any help would be most appreciated...
Derek..
