Child Arthur Benjamin Lambeth 1d 317

Thankyou for all your help in finding Ben and Flo!!
All the info from everyone so far has been correct but i'm still looking for Authur B Child. Born early 1900s. Son of Benjamin and Florence. I do know that he married Edith Williams in Sept 1921 But can't find a birth record for him. Any offers ?? We seem to think that their could also have been a Blodwin.

I don't see a birth for Benjamin but there is a birth for an Abraham Child that fits. Abraham would have been his father.

PLEASE don't use credits to look for BMD's. Use the FreeBMD where they are available free up to 1920 (or later in places)

For the census consider taking a 14 day free trial with Ancestry. If you want to keep the facility you can for £10.95 a month or on an annual basis (just gone up but should be around £68 if you barter)

There is this entry for 1891 Census which could be Benjamin:

And it looks like their mother, Eunice, died the same year as this census was taken:

Could be how Benjamin ended up in London and marrying so young at 16yrs.

My Grandmother was Irene A child born in Bedwellty in 1919 to Benjamin Child and Florence Elizabeth Nicholls. Irene had loads of siblings that I have had help tracing but I have gone over and over trying to find any info for Benjamin and Florence.I have spent hour after hour, credit after credit and have found nothing .Im guessing they were born around the 1880 as one of there children got married in 1921.All the children :Tom,Fred,Alice,Blodwin,Rose,Authur,Violet,Victor,Irene Were registered in Bedwellty, so i'm also guessing thats where Ben and Flo came from. can anyone help trace Ben and Flo ??
