May Farrow (male), 76, wheelwright, N
Ann, 71, N
James, 50, N
Elizabeth, 50, Y
Thomas, 40, Y

Benjamin Farrow, 35, Cl? lab, N
Ann, 30, Y
Henry, 8, N
Benjamin, 7, Y
John, 2, Y
Edgar, 6 months, Y

Can't find birth of Benjamin on BVRI but there is this marriage:

It only said Suffolk for the marriage of Benjamin & Ann Sarah.
I have just found them on the 51 census where it says that Benjamin was born London, Middlesex, although it was transcribed as Mexico, London.
Ann Sarah was born Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ben's occupation was roman cement manufacturer.

Just found, on BVRI, the christenings of Benjamin & Ann Sarah's children in Ipswich.
It gives Ben's full name as Benjamin Baldry Farrow.
Does that name mean anything to you?
Do you want the christening dates?
