  Hi CaroleW I  do not know Rachel Clare but I am so interested to know what you say,how do I make contact? It would be so interesting to know of descendants of Benjamin and Mary Ann.     When I think back over the years Peterborough has changed from Northants to Cambridgeshire hence my confusion in the memory bank. Thanks ever so for your information.  Shella
