Bench Families 1600-1699

Job Bench 1693 Baptism Record - Southam

Job Bench was baptised in Southam Parish, Warwickshire County, England on 25 April 1693.

I have seen several entries in other online records that list his name erroneously as Jebthe Bench.  The entry is a little difficult to read, because the word  "Job" and the word "the" run very close to each other.  The "o" is mistaken for an "e", hence many folks listed him as Jebthe Bench, instead of Job Bench.  If you look at all entries above and below Job's, you clearly see the clerk/scribe using the word "the" after each persons first name.  If you increase the size of the .pdf, you can also see the "o" vice "e".

Attached is Job's 1693 Southam parish baptism record.

Joseph Bench 1661 Baptism - Saint Nicholas - near Southam

Joseph Bench was baptized on 2 Feb 1661 in Saint Nicholas, Warwickshire, England (near Southam).

This particular set of baptism records did not mention mothers/wifes, only dads/fathers.  His father was listed as Job Bench.

Attached is the 1661 baptism record of Joseph Bench.

1654 Marriage record of Job Bench and Anne Welch

Job Bench and Anne Welch were married in Lillington Parish on 21 November 1654.

This is the first marriage record for my Bench family branch in which the marriage named at least some of the parents. Job's parents were listed as Humfrey and Anne Bench, while James Welch was listed as the father of Anne Welch.

Attached is this 1654 marriage record.
