Hi Jangler

When you have a Family Tree approaching 17,000 people, you are connected to most people in the Forest of Dean !!

The James Bennett 1769 baptised 13.8.1769 to parents Thomas Bennett 1728/1796 & Lucy Hale 1732/1812 are in my Family Tree, but "connected" not "related". James Bennett 1769 was one of the 12 children of Thomas Bennett & Lucy Hale, with Lucy being his second wife. Their daughter Mary married Thomas Meek 1758, one of my 6 times great uncles. Two of Thomas Meek & Mary Bennett's children are connected to another posting; their son Thomas married Rebecca Vaughan and one their son's was Richard Vaughan Meek - see Jessica Meek archive posting, Thomas Meek & Mary Bennett's son Moses 1779 married Anne Brain, great grandfather of Jane Meek, see my "Jane Meek born 1860" posting.

Going back to James Meek 1769 he also had a sister Jane Bennett 1773 who married John Duberley, they were the parents of Fanny Duberley who married Richard Read as per my previous response to this posting.

The James Bennett 1741 you mention was the brother of Thomas Bennett 1728, father of James Bennett 1769. George Bennett 1693 & Margaret Craddock had 11 children the first was Thomas 1722, the last but one was James 1741.

Perhaps you can help me. I have no further information for James beyond his baptism 13.8.1769.

Perhaps slowhands can help me also. I also cannot follow Barbara Whitson. Is she the Barbara in the workhouse in 1881 and if so why, as her mother Tabitha (in my Family Tree obviously !!)and her sister Alice are with Tabitha's parents George Herbert & Sophia Grindle.
Did she go on to marry George John Bennett and if so, do we know who his parents were.
