Notes 1

• The first Bennet baptisms in Milverton start just after johns marriage unfortunatly the records do no give the parents.

BENATT Margarett 20 Jul 1560 - - - - - -

BENATT Edwarde 03 Jun 1562 - - - - - -

BENATT Thomasin 24 Jul 1564 - - - - - -

BENATT Edythe 27 Mar 1569

I think all the above are children to John and Johan due to the eliminations shown below.

In 1571 parents start to appear but they are Richarde and William ;-(

BENATT Johan 23 Sep 1571 Richarde is the first.

But no Milverton Richarde wedding to eliminate the children.

Except this one

Joane MOORE Richard BENNETT Marriage 01 * 1571 Somerset Kingsbury Episcopi : St Martin : Phillimore's Transcripts

We do have a William Benatt wedding in Milverton in 1570

All in all not all that conclusive. Where are John and Joanne

Notes 2

• I am going to stay with the original . But have John and Johan marrying and living in Milverton from circa 1559 - 1570

• There are couple of explanations does Johan's parents move back from Milverton between 1569 and 1580. Why the gap in the children? Did they live somewhere else.

Or Is this Johan and Roberts parents?

• But no Magerie Bennet dies in Wiveliscombe.

• However a Johan wife of John does die in Wiveliscombe
• Burials Wiveliscombe

BENNETT Johan 03 Apr 1592 w/o John

• The Johan Bennet daughter born in 1881 in Wiveliscombe is also suspect. A later John perhaps.
