Dear All, One of my wife's BRANSON ancestors was named Bennet BRANSON, born 1 Mar 1694 in Helmdon, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND and married a Frances YEAST, 21 Jan 1717 at Helmdon. Frequently, unusual christian names like BENNET can survive several generations and can often give clues on otherwise unconnected families - particularly when daughters marry but retain the christian name for their children. So question - does anyone else out there have a BENNET in their BRANSON line?? Regards Barry WOODS
