Wm Benton & Emma Scragg m/Eng 1874 where from?
I am trying to help my mother-in-law trace her parents Benton line.
They are William Benton b. December 1837England
and Emma Scragg b. May 1840England
They were married in 1874 in England..where is unknown
Emmigrated to America and settled in Trenton New Jersey.
Here William was a potter but I do not know what he did in England.
There were 7-8 children that the1900 census mentions withj 5 living.
I know of William b. 1875 England
Mary Ann b. 1882England
Margaret b 1883England
Unknown Benton b.England
Unknown Benton b.England
Unknown Benton b.England
Unknown Benton b.England
The 1900 census states that they came over in 1885, but I was unable to find them on the Ellis Island site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sue
