  • Name Philip Benjamin Martell 
    • The middle name seems anachronistic but is used in multiple places in the parish registers.
    Gender Male 
    Christened 24 Oct 1736  Lymington, Hampshire, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    • The HGS index records two baptisms this day, the first for Philip, the second for Benjamin, both children of Jeremiah Martin. Possibly these were two separate people, likely twins, one of whom died young and the other adopted his name in his memory; perhaps more likely, the HGS misread the record and assumed it referred to two sons.
