Hi M P Griffiths

This thread for which you have shown a link

actually caused me to change my family tree. I have the highest regard for Graham Davison, and am always happy to change my tree to get it right.

I now have the parentage of James Bennett 1718 as being an uncertain James Bennett & Mary.

If anyone can provide more concrete data I would be grateful as James Bennett 1718 is one of my 6 times great grandfathers, so obviously his parents would be one of my 7 times great grandparents.
