Hi Angela & Paul,
Many thanks for your prompt replies to my query. I have two Bennett families on my tree.
One family I have back to Edward Bennett who was buried in Broad Chalke, Wiltshire in 1631, where he came from prior to that I don't know. It would be nice to link him back to the Bennett's of Pytthouse, but much work needs to be done before I can do that.
The other family is back to a Simon Bennett who married Eleanor Harvey in 1728 at Pimperne. They had one son, William, at Tarrant Gunville. There is a Simon Bennett being christened at Tarrant Monckton to a John & Frances Bennett in 1740, plus a William having children there as well at around the same time. Therefore I wondered if John, William & Simon were brothers, but can't seem to find where any of them came from.
Hence my appeal for help to see if any of them left wills. I think I may need to get a copy of the John Bennett will of 1755, just to see what he has to say for himself! Oh for a day in Wiltshire Record office!!
Once again many thanks for your help.
Linda
