on the marriages it gives over full age but on his death certificate it gives him at the age of 65 when he died which was at toothill 1877.
going back to his father thomas who i had as baptised in kingsley. i see what you mean about the distance yet he must have travelled down to wellow when he married hannah marten in wellow in 1808

in one of the emails from you, you said that james bennett baptised in abbey independant romsey father was william bennett, this is the james who married twice, on each of his marriage certs he gives thomas as his father.
where was it you saw that william was the father of the james baptised in romsey.
could there be another james bennett?

have you maps of these areas at all

well the one thing that i know is james bennett who married jannaway and scammell his father is for certain thomas bennett.

i have a thomas bennett born grimstead in wiltshire about 1783 he married a hannah in west wellow

i also have thomas bennett christened 11/11/1783 in kingsley father james mother mary and this thomas died romsey end of the year 1859 and i have the banns for james bennett to mary holloway married in nursling church 7/11/1773.

at st peters church plaitford thomas bennetts gravestone is behind the church, this was erected by his son james
you can see my confusement

i had some credits on find my past and i found a john bellows bapt 17/1/1771 and he was son of john and mary
if only i could find that i am going the right way it is so difficult i do not think that anybody else has gone back that far
