Hi :)

A search of the FOD records found a William Charles LEEK baptised Nov 1863, base born (illigitimate), Mother Emma (wife separated from her husband). Is this my William Charles Lake BENNETT.

William is illigitimate.. surely he would not be recorded as this if John was his father and John and Emma were still married, even though separated... maybe this is the reason why they were separated?

Do you know who Cornelius Grafton is, who witnessed the marriage between John and Emma? I can't see him anywhere :(

The marraige in 1866 between William Bennett and Emma Leake took place at Holy Innocents, Highnam (Gloucs BMD)..could do with a lookup on that.. may give some more clues;)
