Main Events
| Biography | I did not become aware of the existence of my grand aunt Lucy until May 1992 - a long way into this research. I had never heard mention of a Lucy and had not even any record of any Lucy Snelson in the county of Cheshire in the C19. How sad; it seems great grandfather Samuel Snelson and his wife Mary Benyon lost young Samuel Benyon and Lucy within a few days; Samuel died on 6th January 1880 aged only fifteen months and sister Lucy was only five years old. Then of course Mary lost her own life within a few days of giving birth to my grandfather Harold Alfred Benyon Snelson. |

Main Events
| Biography | Richard maintains that Annie Harrison was Maria Snelson's sister ..... I must admit to being confused here .... the Priddeys, Marias and Harrison connections seem to be a bit muddled ... at least they are to me. Brian and Hazel Appleby may have the answer ... I am not sure. See #5647 and #1632. |
