Any help from anywhere.
My great grandfather William Benfield born Bledington Gloucestershire England 1838.
Parents were John and Eleanor Benfield.
I am desperate to find how and when he came to Australia. It is my only missing link.
He died in Bendigo Vic, Hospital in 1905 and his death entry said he was in the colony for 30 years.
That would make his arrival around 1875 I believe he came as a single man as he married Annie Sutton in Kyneton Vic in 1877. Any others researching this Benfield family, please contact me if you can help.
Kind Regards Christine Benfield
