My name is William Erik Benson- born in Hamilton Scotland in July 1938- son of Thomas and Lilian Benson. His father was William McHutchison Benson- a miner from the Airdrie area. His father Thomas-born 1857 had 5 children by Jessie McHutchison and after she died in Arbroath he remarried Elizabeth Coutts Ritchie and had 5 more-one called Maxwell. I have been recently to the records office in Edinburgh- which is exhausting! but will now be following up on the 2 census, when I get a bit of time. My father had a brother -William and 2 sisters-Jean and Nancy- all in the Hamilton area. . .I don't. Anybody out there with any other info is good. . .thanks. . and good luck!. . . . . .now I have Peter Benson , born 1809 -parents James and Sarah Irving.. problem is -no birth cert for any of the 3. . .did they come from Ireland to Gatehouse of Fleet- Girthon ? I have all the family after that. |
