Phil? my name is John Palmer and I live in Toronto, Canada.
I came across the Williams Family Tree which appears to have an incredible amount of information in it.
I believe that my wife's family are descendants of Arthur Benton and Esther Purcell.
My wife's mother was Betty (Benton) Davidson, daughter of Kathleen Annie Walsh and Horace James Benton. Horace James Benton was the son of Arthur Benton and Esther Purcell.
I have attached the headstone for Kathleen Walsh & Horace Benton. They both died very young, even for their time. Kathleen died giving birth to their second child. Horace passed away 9 years later in 1939.
I have attached the manifest showing the immigration of Arthur Benton, Esther Purcell and family from England to Canada in May 1911.
I'm not sure if I can fill in any holes in your information for Horace's descendants?
If there is anything I can help with, please let me know.
Thank you!
