FAMILY GROUP RECORD OF
BENJAMIN AND
HANNAH MEE

Benjamin and Hannah Mee had twin sons, Isaac and Jacob. Benjamin's name had been transcribed as Canaman or Conan, however the original parish register for Heanor clearly shows his name as Benjamin. The name is very readable in the microfilm, but does not copy well. The parish register (FHL #2104171) says: "Isaack & Jacob sonns of Benjamin and Hannah Mea of Little Eaton baptized July 22".
