Thank you all for your posts. I very much appreciate your efforts on my behalf I have searched for Henry without much success.  So, Brentor Boy His father, John  must have been Mary's brother. It is possible Mary inherated from somebody other than immediate family. It doesn't say how many, just  "houses and property" I am sure the 1871 census  is my Mary Wonder if the people she is with are family or friends

Family Search does not have a James Spark/ Sarah marriage in Hampshire earlier that 1797. It may be that John was born before their marriage and baptised in his mother's maiden name.
