Mike: Thank you so very much for the time and trouble you expended on your search for the Anstey PRs. Your efforts on my behalf are really appreciated. Maybe you could take a look for Benjamin next time you go to the LRO for your own research.

Hi Marilyn I was at the LRO yesterday and had a look at the Ansty PRs I did not find your Benjamin Smith bapt in 1765 Marriage to Mary Cooke was 19th July 1789 witness William Morris and Thomas Throsley (this Thomas was on a lot of records so I assume he was a something to do with the church) Curate was Edward Vaughn.No parents or other family Burial of Benjamin Smith 12th May 1829 age 63 I also found the following which are interesting if not relevant. Baptism 1770 14th of the month but the page was vary bad and I could not determine the month. Mary daug of Benjamin and Mary Cooke. Could it be that the year was 1790? It was in the correct place to 1770 but a bit spooky don't you think? I found a Benjamin Simpson Bapt 1764 Elizabeth Smith Bapt 1766 Benjamin White Bapt 1767 Regards Mike

Hi Mike: Thank you so very much for taking the time to check the Anstey PRs for me. Will have to start looking for Benjamin Smith in nearby parishes. The burial of Benjamin confirms my finding so that is good to know. I have the baptism of Mary Cooke as 14 Jan 1870 from the transcribed PRs which may not be correct if difficult to read. Once again a million thanks for your help.
