The first baptism was nonconformist. Perhaps the family fell out with the church and went back to C of E?

Thanks Val.

Mary E is William's 2nd wife. First was one of my Furners.

I've been filling as many gaps as I can from Trove the past few days so perhaps it's best if I just mention some names with details not yet found in Trove.

Oh. I didn't have one of those obits and I didn't know Parkers sisters had married Bensleys.

They are sisters. It's an error with father's name.

Death.-I have to announce with regret the death of Mrs. William Bensley, of Westwood Farm, which sad event took place on Wednesday last. Deceased for the past three years had been ailing, so that her death was not unexpected. The immediate cause was severe bronchitis. Much sympathy is expressed with Mr. Bensley and his large family in their bereavement.

So far can't find burial details.
