Richard Bentley married a Hannah(Lumb) and had a sister Hannah (Holmes). I see also that Abraham (hopefully Richard's father) was a soldier in the 1st regiment of Life Guards. Is it possible that a soldier could be sent/stationed near Marylebone in 1792 and his wife be there with him?....or am I clutching at straws??
Somewhere amongst one of my research piles I have a 200 year old record of a Yorkshire soldier posted away from home, plus his army wife and their child.
There were several barracks in and near Marylebone and if you read this (see link below) you will see it was around your time frame that married quarters were being mooted.
