Re: Caroline Bastable b abt 1873? Jo Adding...
Sorry not worded myself correctly.
On BCC a Benjamin Plant had been noted to possibly married a Francis James, her name is actually Fanny, I changed that, and noted his father as Richmond. That isn't right. I think that Benjamin Plant who married Fanny is this one https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... ver=422960

I can't see a death date for this Benjamin or William Benjamin as he was registered when born.
