March 31st marks the feast day of St. Benjamin in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Benjamin was martyred in Persia in the fifth century.
My children have two Benjamins as ancestors:
Benjamin GEROW (1768 New York -1835 Ontario), their 6th great-grandfather (married Margaret RUSSELL)
Benjamin DOMAN (1809-1879 Wiltshire, England) their 5th great-grandfather (married Elizabeth HAYTER)
Adding Benjamin Doman to our tree at Ancestry.com, I rediscovered that in 1861 his son-in-law Job COX's occupation was "Dairyman, in Longbridge Deverill. In Canada in later years his profession was the more general "farmer". Ontario death records from 1933 are now available (they were not in 1998 when we began our research) so I am discovering precise dates of death and burial for Job Cox and Leah (Doman) Cox
Dolman Family History
I found this blog while trolling the internet and ancestry.co.uk. Must take a deeper look at it soon! A quick glance reveals the maiden name of Benjamin Doman's mother Mary - FORD. Too bad the UK parish records are not online. I have been spoiled by the accessibility of the Danish records.
Why does it seem easier to go to Salt Lake City than to order the films at the local FHC?
