Benjamin Willoughby Glenton (1830-1896), my 4x great Uncle.
He was born to Henry Glenton and his wife Ann-Marie Jeffers, and baptised in St Thomas' church, Liverpool on 23 October 1830.
On 20 April 1859 he married Margaret Ellen Dignam at St Brides church, Liverpool.
They had four daughters, and in 1881 he was working as a dormentry steward at the sailors home at Canning Place Liverpool. By 1891 he was living in Morris Street, West Derby, next door to his father in law.
Benjamin died on 5 January 1896.
