Hey all, Thankyou all for looking and for your suggestions.
Very much appreciated.
A new train of thought always throws something new into the pot.
I have spent the past 48hours going round and round in circles again with this one.
Henry and his father Charles Benfield/Binfield/Banfield/Bonfield bloomin pain in the backside field lol!
I came to a grinding halt about 4 or 5 months ago with them and kind of laid them to rest.
Someone contacted me a few days ago with a connection to Henry and Charles and indeed had Charles at the top of their tree as
Binfield married to Sophia Harding 1839.
I looked up the marriage and trawled through the census records again hoping to find a Sophia with either Henry or Charles. I did find a 65 yr old Sophia Harding with a 6yr old Henfy Binfield in 1851 which confused me even more. but still cannot find any concrete proof that Charles Binfield is Henry Binfield Father, or even whether Henry Binfield is
my Henry Benfield.
I fear I shall go around in circles forever more with this pair...
I have just gone back and had another look at the Sophia Harding age 65 with Henry Binfield.
It is 1841 not 51. and he is 6 months not 6 yrs.
anyway they are right at the top of the page.
HO 107/385/4
on the previous page sitting at the bottom are Charles and Sophia Binfield both age 20. all from and in Basingstoke.
That still doesnt make 6month old Henry Binfield the Henry Benfield I am searching for though arghhhh!
