General Notes
Newton F Handford is the only Handford of his age born in Nottingham to be found. He is living with his brother, a BAPTIST MINISTER, which almost confirms this is the same person and Reuben F Handford. He as also living in Little Bolton which clinches it, as this is where he married Sarah.
In 1861 he was named Benjamin on the census record.
Named Reuben for Marriage and thereafter, but appears to have been named Newton in 1871 before he became a Baptist Minister. The F stands for "Finn" or "Frine" (on 1911 census).
In 1921, Reuben Finn and Sarah Alice were at Loughborough with daughter Esther Maud.
See the Bolton Ebeninmg News Article (attached) of the Baptist wedding to Sarah Mather.
