Hi,The only census Benjamin is showing up in is 1901 with his wife Lottie and family living with brother Joseph and family in Runcorn.We know this is the right Benjamin as we knew the family(age slightly out).We have a marriage and death cert for Benjamin which puts him age 22 in marriage 1893 and 64 in death 1935 in Todmorden which would make dob late 1870 or before June 1871.I have spent weeks checking and double checking census and births but no sign of him. Benjamins father Benjamin(Senior) a boatman on the canals  was married twice 1st to Caroline Beresford who died late 1870 (we wondered if she died in childbirth) 2nd to Martha ( late Fisher formerly Beresford)1871.I think Caroline and Martha were sisters.???
