There still are many records available for Benthams but there are many Benthams ,some whome are not related to the claim/ One example struck me as very suspicious. I visited Standish Parish Church with my cousin to examine a a marriage documents dated October  1781. I knew the vicar quite well and he agreed to wave the usual fees to look at the parish records which were held in the  cellars of the church. When we found the volume we were looking for one page was burned( yes burned) out of the records. The vicar said there had been a fire hence the missing page. Now just think about that for a moment .. One page burned from a book.. why not two three ?? surely at least two pages would have been burned?? This is one such example of the lengths these people have gone to to send a message to the Benthams .

interestingly the firm of solicitors was from Dublin Ireland. He disappeared with most of our original documents.  My suspicion is that he was paid handsomely for his betrayal/

 The crucial documents is the marriage certificate of Kathrine Bradshaigh to a Bentham ( not sure of his Christian name.) This was the parish record that was burned out of the book at Standish Parish Church. we attempted to retrieve. dated 1780/1790

my eye is drawn to the fact that Sir Roger Bradshaigh actually admits his sister is living with his blacksmith. This is astonishing that given the lengths that the trustees have gone to to stop our claim they couldn't cover up his last will and testatment. He amended his will several times though. Copies of which are held at Chester. He goes on to say that she should be " buried at night with as few blacks in attendance as possible??" Why was this to be kept secret? Was she the missing link to our claim?

the Katherine in question is 1771 (death and birth ) record only. This I feel has been airbrushed out of history. She married a Bentham. Thankyou for your input.
