_______________________

In 1891 his wife was a widow but I could not find the death of a Benjamin F D on FreeBMD from 1881 to 1970.  Nor of any Benjamin Ferrand with no surname.

Hubert was with his mother in 1891 but Henrietta was staying with another family in Bromley.

None of the family could be found in 1901 and 1911.
