Hello all. My first post but someone might have something.
Does anyone have information about Ephraim Benbow and long time partner Ivy Calvert.
Ephraim died in 1950 in South Wales and Ivy died in 1989.
Many thanks.
Frank.

I can't find Ephraim on the 1911 census, or any other census other than the 1891.
This death would indicate that it's the correct Ephraim:
Name: BENBOW, Ephraim
Registration District: Pontypridd
County:Glamorganshire
Year of Registration: 1950
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at death: 77
Volume No: 8B
