Benjamin Burns born circa 1839-1841 (according to census) married jane HOWELLS 14th July 1861 at St Matthews Church, Wolverhampton. According to the marriage cert they both lived on Willenhall Road and Benjamins father was also Benjamin and he was deceased. No age was given other than of full age. I have searched all the census prior to the wedding and cannot find a Benjamin Burns that fits the known facts anywhere. The only one that would fit is a son of Thomas and Sarah however when one searches through that line that Benjamin marries an Emma in 1861. On ever census he gives his borthplace as Bilston yet I cannot find any birth on the indexes from 37 to 41. I appreciate that birthplaces can be way of the mark due to first memories. If anyone has any ideas where to go with this one now I would be greatful Rob ****************************** ATTENTION TO ALL:- When replying please remove the details that do not apply to your mail and change the SUBJECT LINE for best useage of ARCHIVED MATERIALS. ****************************** PLEASE keep your Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software up to date.
