Bench - Ingram Families

Thomas Bench was baptized on 1 January 1832 in Higham on the Hill Parish, Leicestershire, England. He was noted as the illegitmate

son of Joseph Bench and Ann Holyoake.   Thomas Bench's father (Joseph Bench) was the brother of our Elizabeth Bench (married to

Edward Ingram).  Fairly common to have a child prior to getting married in those days.

The baptism transcript included, along with the actual file (file attachment):

The 1649 will of Edward (in latin listed as Edwardus) Ingram of Penkridge, Staffordshire, England.  Only listing 1st page here. 

Have complete will, but on this particular page Edward names brother Sampson (sometimes listed as Samson) Ingram in the will.  Sampson is our branch of the Family.

Not quite sure where this Willam Ingram (married to Ellen Masefield) fits in, but surely connected to our Ingram Penkidge families. The 1641 marriage record is attached.

Thomas Bench was buried in the year 1639, and is appended at the end of the year, likely noting that he died late in the year.

Attached is the Lillington parish burial record for Thomas Bench.

Thomas Bench (the younger) was baptised on 11 June 1565 in Lillington, Warwickshire County, England.

He was mentioned in the will of his grand-father, also named Thomas Bench (the elder).  The will was written at least by 16 day in 1565, and was probated on 19 March 1565, so it would be safe to say he was born on or before 16 March 1565.

Attached is the 1565 Lillington baptism record for Thomas Bench (the younger).

The 1565 will of his grand-father is listed in his forum record.

Edward Ingram and Elizabeth Bench were married (by banns) on 1 December 1806 in Church Lawford parish, Warwickshire, England.

Edward and Elizabeth made there mark, meaning neither could write at that time. Edwards brother William Ingram witnessed the marriage (William could write, and signed his name).  The other witness was Elizabeth Colledge, who made her mark.

Attached is the 1806 Church Lawford marriage record.
