	Trying to helpout a distant cousin (we met through her trying to find my family and it worked), she has a stumbling block on her dad's side, this is what I know. Trying to find info on BENJAMIN MANDER, possibly born in Worcestershire/Staffordshire, married Mary Ann Brookes 1885 West Bromwich, children that I know of Benjamin J T? born around 1890, not sure if in England or USA Howard Albert born 1891 USA, later sent to Canada, Gladys not sure where born but also went to Canada.Benjamin (son) lived in England and is the father of my relative, he married Helen Jackson in Bakewell Derbyshire, he died in 1947. Benjamin senior is the mystery man, no signs of him on census or birth or death records, although my releative seems to think that he had some sort of mental illness around 1904 and may have been in an institution, and may have died there, there is also some talk of Barnardos home for the children?? I know this is awfully muddled but as I am only in touch with my cousin by email and she is a little elderly now I don't have all the info she has to hand, just thought I would try and help her out, also I like a good mystery to go at myself but need a start. Any ideas or possiblilities would be good. Thanks Karen
