THIS LOOKS LIKE THAT STORY FOR THE MOMENT.

1837. JOHN TOUGH FINCH COMES OUT at the pleasure of the Court.

Dwells with and then Marries ANN JANE MEREDITH.

They change their name to BENNETT and have  13 children.

The second of the children and the first born son is named ARTHUR JAMES BENNETT.

Arthur marries MARGARET GRIFFIN.

They had a goodly number of children, the youngest of whom is ETHEL.

ETHEL BENNETT then marries BERT WILLIAMS in 1915.

They have 6 children.

The 4th Child is MARION and she married ROY KNOW.

Marion and Roy have 4 boys, the 2nd of whom is PETER KNOX.
