Facts and Events
Name Benjamin SAWYER
Gender Male
Birth[1][2][3][4] 25 Sep 1788 Hagbourne, Berkshire, England
Marriage to Frances HARVEY
Death[1][5][6] May 1859 Kings Norton, Warwickshire, England

Birth : Mullis Family Bible.

Benjamin is clearly living with the Thomas Mullis family in Oxfordshire in 1861, so his death date from the Mullis family bible must be in error. A death record of Benjamin Sawyer in Jun Quarter of 1865 in Wallingford seems more likely. The registration district of Wallingford spans the boundaries of the counties of Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
