Hi
Sorry not to get back to you but I'm on a Library computer and only get so many visits a week.
I'm sorry but I disagree with the Mary Roberts and children you have.
I'd have gone for a marriage at Wheathill to a Mary Fletcher 3.6.1816 wit Benjamin Rix and William Jones.
Other children baptised there Sarah 13.7.1817 Richard described as a farmer and Esther 23.4.1819.
I'd go for a baptism for Richard at Stoke st Milborough to John and Sarah Milman 26.12.1783.
This is because of the 1851 census which has Richard at Hopton Wafers age 85 born Stoke St Milborough with his daughter Esther Hinton nee Milman and her family.
It lookd like Mary was buried at Wheatenhill  12.7.1829 age 40 of Hopton Wafers.

Times running out so all for now

Hello and sorry to ask for more information,I am trying to finish my millman family tree,I have been on ancestry again,which has Richard millman 1776 born stoke st milborough marrying mary Roberts 1811-1841,it says there children were Benjamin born 1823(which would have made mary his mother 12 when he is born) and Esther born 1821,but it does have this Benjamin marrying sarah Jones in 1853,sorry but who Benjamin's parents where is confusing me,I really need help please,Dean

To be honest, I wouldn;t trust anything in an Ancestry tree unless it has some clear access to certificates and records. You need to like with a critical eye - how likely is it that a man would marry a woman 35 years younger than him?  Ancestry's suggestions are made but computer fuzzy matching area and names - no human input. Sometimes spot on and sometimes well out of kilter, especially when using hits from poorly researched trees!

The Richard Milman - Mary Roberts marriage appears to be in 1833 - much later than either proposed child's birth

There's a couple on 1841 who fit that marriage - both born 1805-11 ish

Thank you Mabel,yes you are right,the ages certainly do not add up,I am almost certain Richard was Benjamin's father,he was born 1783,this is a different Richard to the one who married Mary Roberts,this Richard married a mary Fletcher born 1789.Could I please ask who the couple born 1805 ish are,so I can have a look at them,thank you very much Mabel
