I saw that one Jimmy and thought he could have changed occupation , it's the nearest I found for Benjamin and Ann together, so thank you once again.

Theres a couple of trees on Ancestry that has all this for Benjamin and Ann, including the marriage cert and birth. I know we dont go by them but they seem to have a few documents
Jo

Grangers & Jimmy thank you so much for all help with this , I have a Benjamin Edwards in my tree and his mother is Hannah and father Richard a miner but there are some of the family that were boatmen , perhaps they will link up with these Edward's .

Will check out that link you have put Grangers.

Once again thank you , I will now sort it out for BCC.

Annie

Thanks Annie

shall we archive this?
can you work from the arch?

Yes I can work from there Northern Lass I also have made a copy of it all on my computer till I get it sorted and in order ready for BCC.
