My great grandfather Edward BENNETT was born in Sambourne which is in the same area. His father was William BENNETT. It is possible that the BENNETT's who married into your PENN family back in the 1700's may have moved into this area. I wonder if our William is a descendant. I need to confirm a birth date and obtain a birth certificate (around 1850) for Edward to find out who his mother was before I can track back any further.

She told me she took up piano lessons at the age of 70 to help console her upon the death of a grandson.

    Not sure when HANNAH dies, however in 1871 JAMES CUMMINS Snr. is a widower and Innkeeper. JAMES Jnr. is a Cider Merchant, WILLIAM gives no occupation. ARTHUR BOYES 16 grandson is a scholar. Which is unusual at age 16. Most children left school the day they turned 14. Which means that ARTHUR must be in some private education not a county school.

    My ancestor is the eldest daughter of HANNAH HAYES and Lancet/Lancelot JONES.

SOME QUERIES Subject: BENNETT's from ALCESTER, War UK
Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 07:41:53 +0100 From: "dave markley" dave.markley@virgin.net To: gordpace@eagle.ca, keith_bennett@telus.net, vashiral@telusplanet.net, dbent@north.nsis.com, alf.fantham@btinternet.com

Hi Folks,

Take a look at this family below that I found on the 1881 census in Ilkeston, Derby.

GEORGE and his father GEORGE were both born in Alcester, Warwickshire.

NELL's father EDWARD, my great grandfather, was born in SAMBOURNE (which is often found on census records as Sambourne, Coughton, and Coughton often comes under Alcester) somewhere between 1840 and 1852. Also EDWARD's father was WILLIAM, who was carpenter.

Now coincidentally GEORGE's father GEORGE was born 1847 in Alcester and was a carpenter. I wonder if GEORGE senior was EDWARD's brother and took up the carpentry trade of their father WILLIAM.

DERBY was where the big works was for building rolling stock for the railways.

ALF FANTHAM, who lives not far from me in KING's NORTON, is trying to find info about JOHN BENNETT and his wife ELIZABETH ROGERS both born about 1856 in Birmingham. Another coincidence therefore, the JOHN RODGERS above was born about 1858, so I wonder if he could have been brother to ELIZABETH ROGERS, hence the reason he is staying with the BENNETT family because of her connections.

Alf says: Can find no entry in St Catherine's for a marriage of JOHN BENNETT to ELIZABETH ROGERS in the years preceding 1881, nor an appropriate registration of the death of JOHN BENNETT prior to 1898. have checked logical fiches in the 1891 census, but not found them yet have checked numerous parish records for marriage of JOHN/ELIZABETH together with the baptism of WILLIAM and ADA, but have not found them. Substantial reward offered to anyone offering evidence to confirm parentage and birth of WILLIAM

Interesting int it.

WILLIAM BENNETT
died 2nd battle Ypres 1915 private 4304 Royal Warwicks

married ROSE ADA KNIGHT age 19, 31 July 1898 @ Birmingham St Gabriel, age 20 Bedstead maker, father JOHN BENNETT decd engraver. witnesses Ada BENNETT and James THOMPSON (subsequently married 1899 age 21)

registered birth certificate:
born 25 February 1880, father JOHN - engraver, mother ELIZABETH nee ROGERS

1898-20 =1878 not 1880. OK can live with that, maybe he wanted to be older than his wife.

1881 census:

JOHN BENNETT age 25 engraver
ELIZABETH age 25 wife
ADA age 3
WILLIAM age 1

Can find no entry in St Catherine's for a marriage of JOHN BENNETT to ELIZABETH ROGERS in the years preceding 1881, nor an appropriate registration of the death of JOHN BENNETT prior to 1898. have checked logical fiches in the 1891 census, but not found them yet have checked numerous parish records for marriage of JOHN/ELIZABETH together with the baptism of WILLIAM and ADA, but have not found them.

The surnames I am interested in are WILLIAMS and BENNETT
(my great grandparents were JOSEPH WILLIAMS (a grocer, born 1834 in Kingswinford, Stafforshire)and JANE BENNETT (born 1840 in Dudley) who moved to Yorkshire with their family (children Thirza b. 1860 and Mary b. 1865) from Staffordshire around 1870.

Their marriage cert. (18th Aug, 1861) lists BOTH as aged 21 - so the previous age problem is clarified and it looks like both were born c. 1839/ 1840. Joseph ( a miner( is listed as residing in Gornal, Jane ( a nailer) as Gornal Wood. Jane's father was JOSEPH BENNETT (miner) and Joseph's father a WILLIAM BENNETT (labourer). They were married in Lower Gornal Church in the Parish of Sedgeley.
