Re: Benjamin Cooper Lancaster

Hi Cheryl

Sorry I was no help - I always wonder why folks change their name - I had a great Uncle who did same - supposedly fleeing from crime - but I have never been able to prove anything about this.

You story is most interesting, but as you said originally - it seems they didn't bother much with baptisms/registrations so it does become difficult to find them all. Hopefully someone else researching the family may appear.
