Hi Mary
My 6 great grandfather was also a Benjamin Sparks from Warwickshire (MMMMMFMF). I don't think they are the same person, but maybe they are related ?
My Benjamin Sparks was born about 1730 and married Mary Bennett in Brinklow Warwickshire in 1755, then married Mary Tansley in Binley in 1762. All his children were baptised in Binley.
His daughter Mary Sparks married Joseph ILIFFE in Wyken and they settled in Brinklow.
All these places are within 10miles of Fillongley !
I also have Nightingale and Cheslin ancestors in Meriden, Corley and Allesley and some of them strayed into Fillongley I am sure.
I have not done a lot on them, chasing down siblings before the 1841 census is pretty difficult, but I will do a bit more on the Sparks family now.
