This is what I know of her
Born 1855 in Lanivet, Cornwall, daughter of William and Mary Ann BENNETT (nee SALMON). She was christened in the village church 22nd July 1855.
In 1861, the family have moved to Bodmin - RG9; Piece: 1536; Folio: 90; Page: 33, and Hetty is there with parents and siblngs, William L, John S and Althea T living in Lower Bore Street.
In 1871, the family are still in Bodmin, but father William is now serving in the local Militia - RG10; Piece: 2249; Folio: 53; Page: 37. There are no further siblings born to the couple, and Hetty is there along with her siblings from 1861.
By 1881, there have been major changes within the family. Hetty's mother Mary Ann died in 1871, and father William remarried to Hannah TRENOUTH in Liskeard, Cornwall in 1872. In 1881, he is with his new family living in Liskeard - RG11; Piece: 2285; Folio: 149; Page: 10
Brother John has joined the RMLI, and is serving in East Stonehouse, Devon - RG11; Piece: 2203; Folio: 20; Page: 34. He is there with wife Catherine, and first born daughter Mabel.
Brother William has joined the Royal Artillery, and is a driver stationed at Trowbridge - RG11; Piece: 2048; Folio: 91; Page: 15
Sister Althea has married to James BROWN in Bodmin 1879, and has a daughter Alice Althea Mabel born in 1880 in Devonport, Plymouth. (I can't locate these in 1881, so there's another challenge if anybody wants it )
Where is Hetty? I did get a bit excited when I found a Bodmin marriage of Hetty BENNETT to William Henry HUNT in 1888, but when I found the couple in 1901, this is a different Hetty born in Luxulyan, Cornwall, and also 10 years younger than the Hetty I'm searching for.
I can't see an obvious death for her, so I'm open to any other suggestions/possible census sitings after 1871.
Here's hoping
