Benjamin DUKES, c.1829, Bridgnorth, Shropshire. ( son of John Dukes and Mary.) On 1851 Benjamin is shown living with wife, Emma, in Bridgnorth. On 1861, Benjamin (Spelt Durkes on transcript.) is shown as a lodger with Ann Lloyd, in Leominster, Herefordshire. In 1863 they had child Eliza Dukes, and Ann Lloyd was known as Dukes after that, but no trace of a marriage. Benjamin Dukes does not appear on any records after that date. ANY information please. Colin
