BiographyMy records for Samuel Benyon Snelson were confused. At one time, I was not sure whether there were in fact two people with the same name, or whether there was really only ever just the one.

My interpretation of my fathers recollections were that he married an Elsie Gill and that they had a daughter. According to my father he was an upholsterer at Brown's Store in Chester and at one time lived on the Buddicombe Estate near Hough Green. According to Harold Cecil SNELSON, Samuel Benyon Snelson inherited "the clock and cash from the Lancastrian". I don't understand what these words mean. Clearly, some of this information relates to Richard Henry Snelson, my grandfathers brother, and not to Samuel Benyon Snelson at all.

There is still some element of doubt here, as my Father often talked about twins as uncles and the St. Catherine's House records do not ( according to Eileen Simpson - Letter 4 February 1989 ) agree with those at Chester.
