Benhall parish registers
« on: Wednesday 20 April 16 20:21 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me?  I am interested in the baptism records for the children of John Blomfield and wife Esther beginning 1796.  Also, I believe that John and Esther were both born Benhall, so any info on their baptisms and  siblings would be of enormous help.   Or can you point me in the direction of any online facility, so I could check them out myself. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the information.  It'll take me the weekend to digest it. Much appreciated.

Thanks once again for the information.  I don't suppose you came across a baptism of Bathsheba Blomfield between 1801-1806?  Her age various according to which census you look at.  However, she always gives place of birth as Benhall.  She married Robert Haste at Hollesley in November 1822.  A lot of people, particularly on Ancestry have gone for a Bathsheba Blomfield born Mendlesham, but I have extensively researched and now discounted her as she married  in 1837 to John Edwards at Fornham.  So it would appear that there are indeed two Bathsheba Blomfields born at around the same time.  Mine however is the one born Benhall who married Robert Haste.
