Ah, I see what you are saying. too much for me tonight, maybe I had better get to bed and sort this lot out over our long weekend here, many thanks for your help tonight. Regards. Cathy

Benjamin J.A was 14 on the 1901 census making him 15 in 1902 when your mum was born

If he was 22/23 when your mum was born the family on the 1901 is not the right family as that Benjamin was born in 1887

Grandad also had a son called Bejamin, mum's brother. so I am assuming that could be the problem, because granad was born around 1880.

What i was trying to point out is

On the 1901 Benjamin is 14, but you say your mum was born 1902..which would make Benjamin 15 when you mum was born

Sorry, my comp went down! was'nt ignoring you at all! And I am in Australia.

Meant to be but mum, sorry for that.
Mum had a sister called Florence "Florrie" and Jane, who was a snob apparently.

Strange...you post says

Can see no marriage for a Benjamin Perry to a Mary Sach

Do you have a date of when they married

I have managed to find all my aunts, uncles and cousins but had no success in finding my g grandparents! my grandparents were from Islington and their names were Benjamin John Alfred Perry and Mary Annie Perry nee Sach, I would like to trace them and their parents etc if possible. thanks to all.
