| BENSON LINE – setting the scene The Benson branch of my tree starts around 1750 in Passenham, Northamptonshire with the birth of Thomas Benson. In 1771 he probably married Mary Littleford before going on to have six children. |
| The Cole Painting Mystery My uncle has a painting in his living room of someone who is believed to be a COLE ancestor. He asked me to see if I could find out his identity. |
