I found this marriage between a Henry Benham and an Elizabeth:
Day:3 Month:Nov Year:1799 Groom forenames:Henry Groom surname:Benham Bride forenames:Elizabeth Bride surname:Stanard Place:Rendlesham County:Suffolk Record source:Suffolk Marriage Index However, it seems rather late, unless he had been widowed.

Thanks Elizabeth.
I found James' christening too, in Campsey Ashe (another village very close by) - with Elizabeth Stanard as the mother  I don't know how I can find who Henry's previous wife was - or who William's mother was

I think the first thing is to try to locate William's baptism and establish exactly when he was born/baptised. The year we assume might be slightly out.
Is there a local genealogical society in Suffolk which could provide you with information? I really struggled with finding PRs for this area. Where did you find James's baptism?

I found James on Familysearch but there were no others to that couple, or any others with Henry as father
 I don't know who I'd contact? Someone that could go to the records office in (Ipswich?) Suffolk? The PRs will be on microfiche, won't they?

You mean she, Sarah! But you're right, she doesn't.
