William Thomas Benfield

[findo]

 William Thomas Benfield was born in Blackwall Middlesex in 1831. he was an accountant/ solicitors clerk and his father was a William Benfield, Gentleman. In 1856 he married Emma Elizabeth Davis Godbolt (born Southtown) in Gt Yarmouth. In 1881 he was living in Dagmar Road London (Name wrongly Binfield). He had a son William in 1860 and Emma in 1858. He had Alice in 1865 and Florence in 1871. Iwould like to find out any information from 1841,1851,1861,1871.  If I find the mother of William Thomas it will complete all 32 of my 6th generation. My web site is in my profile.   Thanks very much   Findo

Not in the 1851 indexes for Bethnal Green or Whitechapel

These are the references for Benfield in St George in the East and Shoreditch surname only indexes

HO 107/1548 folio 436
HO 107/1547 folio 121
HO 107/1535 folio 339
HO 107/1538 folio 129

Hopefully someone will look up these references for you
