Will with Codicil formerly of Derby Road Bootle near Liverpool in the Co. of Lancaster Stationer but late of Brook Road Bootle aforesaid deceased died 17 September 1870 at Brook Road aforesaid was proved at Liverpool by the oath of Lawrence James Benson of 46 Newstead Rd., Liverpool aforesaid Merchant's Clerk the son the sole Executor. Effects under 2,000. -----Original Message----- From: Christine Benson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 4 December 2015 2:00 AM To: Robyn Clarke; Lancashire Mailing List Subject: Re: [LAN] Fw: Anthony BENSON b 1840 Many thanks Robyn. His father was a stationer so this must be my man. And because the two articles must be about the same incident, so must the other one be mine. So I wonder why I can't find him in 1861 and 1871. Perhaps he didn't like censuses. Thanks again Christine --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Yes thanks, Robyn, I already have that. That just makes me think - maybe I should get the Will. It might name the beneficiaries and help. But I already know from the newspaper articles that Anthony was in Liverpool in 1870. I'll think about that.
