Hi, I've been sent this message from Phyllis Kent directly through the Banburyshire website. Can anyone help her? Rosemary | I am trying to locate information about the parents of Nellie Death, my | great grandmother. I only have a few clues about them. Nellie was born in England | March 8, 1860. I do not know where. I have a memorial card for Elizabeth | Death who died Dec 11,1868 in Banbury, interred at Chipping Warden. She was born | in 1821 but I do not know where.I believe her husband's name was William and | I have no information on him at all. I live in the US and I do not know how | to further research this family. I thought that since Elizabeth was buried in | Banbury, Nellie may have been born there. Nellie eventually came to NJ where | she married Henry T. Benjamin around 1880. She died in Hawthorne, NJ Jan | 22.1936. Does anyone have an info on this family or suggestions about where I | can check for other leads? | | Phyllis Benjamin Kent |

Rosemary, I've had a snoop around for this lady and her family. I found her and her husband Henry Benjamin in Paterson, NJ, in the 1880 census. They had a young son, Henry T. Benjamin (jr?). (Year: 1880; Census Place: Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey; Roll: T9_795; Family History Film: 1254795; Page: 67C; Enumeration District: 153; Image: 0136.) I also looked her up in the 1930 census for New Jersey, and sure enough she is there, age 69, widowed, born in England. An important fact is that she emigrated to the US in 1872. I thought this seemed a bit young for her to come on her own. Working on the theory that perhaps she came over with some rellies, I had a look again in the NJ census for any DEATH family. Sure enough, I found a William DEATH, age 45, and his wife Margarett, age 40, both born in England, and also living in Paterson. (Year: 1880; Census Place: Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey; Roll: T9_796; Family History Film: 1254796; Page: 364B; Enumeration District: 167; Image: 0512.) Could this be Nellie's father and stepmother? This might give someone more information to work with. Hope this helps.
