Ben Wainwright (1897-1962) was a farmer from Hull. (PROSE: The Time Travellers' Almanac) He was the father of Sally Wainwright and her two elder brothers, the husband of Kathy Nightingale, the brother-in-law of Larry Nightingale and the paternal grandfather of Malcolm Wainwright.
When Kathy was sent back in time from London in the 2000s[nb 1] to Hull on 5 December 1920, by the Weeping Angels, she arrived next to Ben with no idea what had happened. She and Ben later married and a daughter named Sally after Kathy's best friend Sally Sparrow. Ben died due to influenza in 1962. On 7 February 1987, Kathy wrote in her letter, which was delivered to Sally by their grandson Malcolm in the 2000s, that she would have liked Ben. (TV: Blink)

- ↑ While Blink itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in 2007 and "twenty minutes to Red Hatching" a year later in 2008—as Kathy Nightingale's letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920", and the Tenth Doctor's side of his conversation with Sally Sparrow in 1969 happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the Redacted audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In Angels, Abby McPhail identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests 2009 as the year of the Red Hatching. In Salvation, the Thirteenth Doctor recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of Andy Proctor, who was last seen by his daughter Cleo "nearly 20 years" before 2022 according to Recruits.
