Humphrey & Susanna Banks

[BGB]

Hello Kit,

You seem to be on the right lines! I should be happy to email you my findings on the Banks - one of them, Mary Banks, married my greatgreat grandfather James Bennett in 1839. But to do this I will need your email address. Mine is brian@bucknall1.eclipse.co.uk

I just thought that with Humphrey and Ursula having childrens unusual names - this girl and parents may be connected

Hello Garstonite - I suspect they are related - the Humphrid is too like Humphrey to be disregarded.
So I will take a look at the site. But proving beyond doubt may be impossible. In those days most people couldn't spell so the parish clerk who entered the names would have spelt them as he saw fit. Bear in mind dictionaries had yet to be published.
Thank you for your interest. BGB
