thanks Jimmy

I have added the marriages for Benjamin here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =174197599

The mark for him on both marriages looks done by same hand I think.
James Guest wit on both marriages for Benjamin

I think it is interesting that on the 1849 Eliza puts father deceased re her marriage to thomas Harris
and that on 1866 Benjamin adjusts name of father to Corshela
almost as to hide their identity
and Edward Whitehouse is alive on 1851 and next door but one to Thomas Harris and Eliza Harris nee whithouse

this seems like dau for Emma Newell and perhaps Benjamin Garratt

How weird

do you think they married later as well cos they are married here

18th Sept 1849 St Edmunds Dudley
Thomas Harris of full age bach Dudley Samuel Harris nailer
Eliza Garratt of full age spinster Dudley no father is on doc only word deceased
banns
X both
Wit- X Heber Harris / X Mary Ann Beasley

So looks to me like Benjamin Garratt dies abt 1876 and they remarry again legally!
in 1877

I am completed on this one thanks for all help

I do think this Benjamin Garratt is son of Shelagh and Elizabeth/Sarah

and I think he marries
1845 to Eliza whitehouse
and then
1866 to Emma Newell/handley

for whatever reason they split up Eliza and Benjamin and go on to marry other folk
I think this is proved when Eliza marries again in 1877 to Thomas Harris a guy she married first in 1849!

I have added notes to Bcc
