Benefer Family History

The blob presents a variant of Bedingfield, which may, at least sometimes, be a form of Benningfield. This is noted despite the explicit equation of Bennifer and Bedingfield in some Norfolk sources.

Additionally, there is a reference to John Benyngfelde or Benyngfeld from the year 1546 found in PROB 11, specifically in Wiggenhall Saint Mary, Norfolk.

The Wiggenhalls are located just south of Kings Lynn, indicating a geographical connection to the names mentioned.

Furthermore, there is mention of Thomas Benningfield from 1679, referenced in IGI, hailing from Thetford, Norfolk.
