Hi

Thanks Slowhands :)

Going back to Benjamin, son of Phoebe Marshall, I wonder if the name Barnettcould have been Phoebe's acknowlegement of the father, John Barnes.
Phoebe was a spinster when she married John Barnes, so maybe she had a longstanding affair with him and had all those children to him. Perhaps her parents offered to bring him up as their own. Benjamin could have been the first, although there is a gap between him and the others, maybe there were more?
Do I sould like I've read too many novels! :)
