This is my first time of using rootsweb, can anybody help? I'm looking for information on two Bentleys. First, the marriage of Edward Bentley born 1813 in West Tisted. Second, any information at all on Edward's father, also called Edward, born about 1781 and married, I think, to Elizabeth Stevens. I have been unable to find any record of his birth and have run into a brick wall. Best wishes and regards, David Cooper _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/

Hi Just a little help which may be some connection. There is an Edward Bentley b 1814 in West Tisted in the census 1814 onward a farmer of 30 Acres. he is listed as a Widower with his children Rosa 1831 Benjamin 1834 Martha 1836 and Frances 1838. Also in the 1851 there is a Martha Reed sister in law, so I presume he married a REED. As his presumed first child Rosa was b around 1831 this would give you an idea of the year of marriage. Of course this all relies on this being the right Edward BENTLEY. Hope this is of some help Bob Newell
