Just plonking this here and trying to figure out what I can do next.
I have Rebecca BENISTON marrying Joseph HOLMES [18 Nov 1858] @ Whitwick, Leicestershire.
I have her all way thru the census until she dies.
Rebeccas father was Matthew, he was b. abt. 16 jun 1817 @ Underwood, Nottinghamshire. [Parents George BENISTON and Rebecca LILLEY]
they marry 26 Dec 1807 @ Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. [Eastwood is virtually on the border with Derbyshire, which in turn all 3 places are not that far from each other]
now, in another part of my tree I have a Mary Anne LYDALL marrying a JOSEPH BENISTON 05 May 1846 @ Whitwick, Leics,
looking at them in the census I have determined that Joseph was born abt. 1825 @ Heanor, Derbyshire. [Heanor is very near to Eastwood, Notts]
I can only find ONE baptism for this person, and it gives his parents as William & Martha, [I can't access familysearch at the moment to get the date]
so this is looking likely for him, what I can't seem to find is that connection which would be if GEORGE BENISTON and WILLIAM BENISTON are actually brothers.
do you think that it is very likely that they are related? and can anyone find any information to prove/disprove this please.
