cos we have 2 diff days and months


is it this ...
12 September 1824 Benjamin so Joseph and Rebecca Basterfield, Borough, Bricklayer

Hi Jan, yes above is the Bap for the younger Benjamin, son of Joseph and Rebecca then there is this one:-


10 Mar 1822
Benjamin so Joseph and Mary Bastable, Borough, Mason GS

Then one of them dies, and presumably the other one Married Elizabeth Cooksey

Burial
24 Oct 1824, Benjamin Bastable, Borough, Infant Gs

Will have another look at it. Linell.

Can someone please check the 1841 Census for Benjamin Bastable or Basterfield born about 1823 Halesowen, we have the one in Islington with parents Joseph and Mary, need to check whether there are anymore or not, thanks.

The Parish entries have Benjamin son of Joseph and Mary Boro Mason 10.3.1822

Benjamin son of Joseph and Rebecca Boro Bricklayer 12.9.1824

Burial is for Benjamin Bastable Inf Boro 24.10.1824. I think this must be the son of Joseph and Rebecca and the other Benj is the one who Married Elizabeth Cooksey.

Linell.

There again IF you look at Benjamin and Elizabeth's children, there is no Joseph or any of his family names from Islington

Help................are any of the parents or siblings living with Benjamin later on

Linell.

Found some of the Census's from Page 2, the only hope is this Charles, can we trace him

Possible Age is out though
1881 Barrow in Furness
Benjamin Basterfield Head 67 Bricklayer Born Worcestershire
Elizabeth Basterfield Wife 67 Born Worcestershire
Charles Basterfield Visitor 10 Scholar Born Worcestershire

Hurrah found him on the IGI:-

Christening:
13 MAR 1872 Halesowen, Worcester, England

Parents:
Father: JAMES BASTERFIELD
Family
Mother: ELIZABETH

Which James is this

Linell.

I think, cannot check as I do not have Ancestry, that Charles is Benjamin's Grandson, son of James Basterfield born 1848 and Elizabeth, if I am correct that won't tell us who Benj mother is will it

I give up, Linell.

1841 Islington Halesowen
Joseph Bookerfeld 50 Nailer
Mary Bookerfeld 50
Benjmen Bookerfeld 20
Eliza Bookerfeld 10
Elizabeth Bookerfeld 5
All Born in County

Could Charles be the son of James

1891 6 Aughton Square Preston Lancashire
James Basterfield Head 46 Bricklayer Born Halesowen
Elizabeth Basterfield Wife 45 Charwoman Born Halesowen
Charles Basterfield Son 19 Born Halesowen (Blind)
Thomas Basterfield Son 17 Throstle Spinner in Cotton Mill Born Barrow in Furrness
Mary Basterfield Daur 10 Cotton Weaver Born Preston

Hi Kaye, yes Charles could be James's son, Benjamin's Grandson. I think the only way of sorting this out is by Benjamin's age, one of them was 2 years older than the other Benjamin, I know it's not a great way of doing it, but can't think of anything else! Linell.

Northern Lass wrote:So what do you think?
age coming out at ????


any clues thoughts as to which one it is

From the Census records, it looks like Benjamin was born 1824 not 1822, does anyone else think the same

Linell.

Must admit im getting confussed
Benjamin
1841 age 20 about 1821 as Bookerfield
1851 age 27 about 1824 as Bastefield
1861 age 34 about 1827 as Basterfields
1871 age 47 about 1824 as Bastefeield
1881 age 67 about 1814 as Basterfield
1891 age 65 about 1826 as Basterfield

trouble is that death in 1900 for Benjamin that marries Elizabeth is coming out at ab 1824

which fits the 1824 one bapt to Joseph and Rebecca

But we know a Benjamin aged 20 is with Joseph and Mary on 1841
but there Benjamin is bapt 1822

I give up now...

we dont know which Benjamin married Elizabeth do we

Hi Jan, from what you say above and the age of Benj in the Census, it does look like he could be the son of Joseph and Rebecca, is he on the 1841 Census? Otherwise it must be the other Benj who was alive and well in 1841.

Linell.
