Deborah,

Do you know when and where he was born? You could check census. BMD, etc. to see if any other documents may state his real first name.

Joan

p.s. I did a quick search on BMD for Benjamin Boon and many records came up.

Benn. would have been born about 1785/90 to early for most internet accessible records.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
Looks like I have a 6hr journey to find the originals, any excuse for a weekend away
