  Family tree of Solomon BENJAMIN (1873-1942) & Frances "Fanny" PHILLIPS (1875-1960) and their descendants I don't know when this diagram was drawn, or by whom. It was provided to me by my mum on her return from a visit to England, so I assume that my mum & her siblings might have created it, possibly about 1980. This diagram opens in a new window.
