Hi Jim, you have thrown a spanner in the works now!!!! After researching all morning I also went for 1747 option - parents James Bennett and Elizabeth.......but after looking I had decided that James Bennett married Elizabeth Barnett in Ross 1744, and had James being baptised jan 1720 ross and Elizabeth barnet ross 1722
I think I may be changing my tree now - I am sure you are probably right - I should learn not to jump to conclusions!
Did your Thomas marry Jane Cowles - do you have any information on her? I know both Thomas and jane died in 1822 and were buried in Mitcheldean. I have Janes mourning brooch but cannot find anything on her with regards baptism. Her mourning brooch states she was 66 when she died but the parish records say she was 64. The IGI has 2 Jane Cowles baptised 1758 and 1759 in Pencoyd which is approx 10 miles from mitcheldean but I havent a clue which to go for.

Going back to Thomas Bennett- I am getting very confused as I already have James bennett/Elizabeth Hazel married 1740 on my tree as I have followed their daughter Elizabeth Bennett baptised 1744 marrying John Vaughan 1762. It doesnt surprise me that they would appear in my tree again!! Thomas Bennett baptised 1747 and Elizabeth 1744 therefore being brother and sister
