Phillip Bench and wife Joane are mentioned as the parents of Thomas Bench (the younger) in his 11 June 1565 Lillington, Warwickshire, England parish baptism record. Of interest is that a William Bench, a likely son of Phillip Bench and Joane was buried the same year, less then a month after Thomas Bench was baptised.
We also know from the will of his grand-father, which was written on 19 March 1565, that this Thomas Bench (the younger) was already born, since he was noted as a son of Phillip. So we can say for certain that Thomas Bench (the younger) was born before 19 March 1565 (and we also know that he lived in Lillington).
Attached is the Baptism record of son Thomas Bench which links Phillip Bench and Joane as his parents.
See the will of Thomas Bench (the elder), which links Phillip Bench as a son.
