John, son of John Bentley, Sailor - baptised 25 February 1806 at St Mary, Selby (not sure if this isn't the Abbey :-\)

Is your John, son of John and Rebecca, also baptised at Selby?

Ermmmm! I'm now a little confused because I can see that John Bentley (36, Waterman and a widower) married SARAH Marsden (21) by Banns at Selby Abbey on 8 May 1803, by Licence. Both signed the register.

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your help! I remain confused.
Let me see if I understand this:
John Bentley of Selby married Rebecca Morley in 1827
His father was John Bentley* of Selby, a waterman who was married to (someone) but became widowed and then married Sarah Marsden age 21 in 1803. The parents of this John Bentley* was William who was married to Mary Marsden and Mary Marsden's parents were Richard Marsden and Mary Green.
Good grief! too many Marys and Johns!! Still, I will add this information to my tree and see what happens. I have been stuck at this point for a while.
Thanks again for your help. Jayne

St Mary, Scarborough - 27 October 1788
John Bentley, 22, Mariner, and Ann Gouthorp, 24. BOTP by Banns.

No I don't, are u getting it in ancestry.com? His daughter is our great great great, so I needed before him. Although knowing the other children’s names was new to my family so that is also great. And my dad is named after Richard but we lost documentation due to a family feud way back! 😅
