Benjamin Richard Ledsham 
Benjamin was born in 1695 at St. Boniface (Bunbury).1 He died at the age of 49 on May 4th, 1744 at St. Boniface (Bunbury).1 General Notes
Benjamin's father was probably Richard Ledsham (1670-1744).
7th October 1670 William Ledsham of Beeston wrote a short will (hard to read), but shows sons William, John, Thomas, and two daughters Maria and Jane. This must be an earlier generation, but does show Ledsham families at Beeston for several hundred years.
Benjamin and Mary were married in a religious ceremony on September 29th, 1720 in Chester.1
