Birthplace[edit]

It appears Benjamin's birthplace is often reported as Devon. This appeared in his obituary and has been cited in numerous publications ever since. However, the official record shows quite clearly, that Benjamin was born in the London burbs, at No. 20 Great Castle Street, Marylebone, Middlesex. 24.68.80.249 (talk) 16:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
