The Common Room / Re: John Bentham b. 1754 need help finding his place of birth
« on: Saturday 26 January 13 17:36 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you, Our John B. married to Ann Apthorpe Bentham (1776- St. Bride, Fleet Str) moved to  Stamford, Lincoln first reported living in Lincoln is 1784, both were burried in Stamford.  John B. is listed as running or owning the George & Angel and then the Crown Inn, he also is reported in the horse Racing Calander (1784-1786) as owning two different race horses. We have looked through records at St. Bride's for Apthorpe's and Bentham's and also in Stamford for baptisms to no avail. We have looked through our England and have had not luck yet.  We know our John B. marrying at St. Bride's is the same as the one living in Stamford due to naming of children.  John's reported age at marriage was 22.  His death certificate would have put his birth at 1750.  We believe that the marriage age was probably correct as someone else would have reported his age at death.
