Hello, as the boards seem to be very quiet I thought I would add this post. On Ancestry for the above for Benjamin Race there about 10 entries which come up, not for the actual name Benjamin but shortened versions as follows - Benjn, Ben and B Race. I'm interested in the residences for these Benjamins to try and work out if they are all one and the same person. It is only the ones listed for County Durham, no other counties.

I did have a thread in 2020 for Benjamin Race below who is not any of the Benjamin's above

Thank you

The records don't give specific addresses.

There seem to be two men.
One is a tenant of a property in Great Aycliffe, owned by W Helsey.

The other is a tenant of a property in Preston-le-Skerne, owned by Sir Ralph Millbanke Bt

There's more than one transcription/record for each of the two men.
I won't copy/paste them all.
