Notes - OPR and census records seem to indicate only one Benjamin Prangley in Corsley at this time. However IGI transcriptions show two different families. The second, as shown here, easily fits with the chronology of the first except that we know Hannah lived beyond 1809. It is suggested that these two Benjamins are the same and that either the second "wife", Martha, was either a mistress, or is simply a scribal error and that the child, Martha, should be recorded as a daughter of Hannah.
The 1851 census shows Benjamin as a blind pauper and former sawyer living in Leigh's Green, Corsley, Wiltshire with a wife, Mary.
