I did some further research and I can see that there are quite a few trees around which matches that Durweston baptism record to the Benjamin Best in my tree and has him as the some of William Best and Martha Coffen. |

There is a tree on ancestry (which you could access via mundia.com if you don't subscrribe to ancestry) which has Benjamin as the son of William Best (1737-1816) and Martha Coffen (1734-1814). |

i wouldn't completely rule it out - they are only 15 miles apart - and he may not have known birth place. If the family moved to Lytchett & he was brought up there he may have assumed that was pob. |

You are correct I mistyped Ann's birth year in my message it should have been 1774. |

?? - I think you may have the wrong birth date for Ann - otherwise she was rather old to be having children in 1823 - she was born around 1774 according to 1851 census. This may be Benjamin |

Doesn't go further back, but good for the census and later records: |

If you want to see if anyone is tracing this family, then use the Search/Search All Member Trees tab (top right) to see who has any of your family in their trees. |

Is anyone else researching the family of Benjamin Best (1776) and Ann Bartlett (1764) who had as least 9 children in the Corfe Mullen area in Dorset. |
