Completed : John Benfield/Martha - Charlbury marriage?
« on: Wednesday 13 January 10 22:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for any details on a John Benfield b c 1740 Charlbury who married Martha unknown.  They had the following children:

May 1761, Sarah 1763, John 1766, William 1774, Elizabeth 1776, John 1778, Ann & Martha 1785

William 1774 is my direct ancestor: chr 24 Jul 1774 Charlbury, d 1843 Burnham Bucks, mar Hannah Spicer 1809 Hooknorton, shoe maker according to 1841 census.

Looking at the gap between 1766-1774 I'm not sure whether in fact there was another marriage.

Any information on John appreciated,

Kind Regards
Steph

Thank you so much for that, fitted my theory that there was a second marriage.
