  • Cheshire parish register project

    Hello

    I have been looking for the baptism of my 6xGrt Grandfather Daniel Bennett for some time now.
    Daniel Bennett was born in Cheshire c1739 and he married in Christleton in 1758.
    His wife Hannah Harding was born in Christleton in 1736 as i found her baptism.
    I assumed Daniel would have been born in Christleton also but i was unable to locate his birth after extensive research in the archives.

    Now Ive been searching the CPRD and Ive just come across this baptism for a Daniel Bennett 12/07/1738. Fathers name was Robert Bennett and mother Martha.
    They were living in Neston.
    My only doubt is that the name Robert dosent show up in the family again on my direct line anyhow, not sure whether the siblings used it.

    Any advice given would be appreciated.

    The first thing I would do is to look for a burial for that Daniel, or a marriage for him, in Neston, to see if you can rule him out. Then I would look to see if any of the Neston Bennetts left wills which might help. If Robert and Martha had other children then you could look at their marriages in case Daniel was a witness and you could compare the signature with your Daniel's (on his marriage entry).

      Just wondering... you say that your Daniel was born in Cheshire, but how do you know he was?

        Hiya Kite

        Looks like Ill be busy in the archives tomorrow then

        All the info I have so far all comes from the archives except this recent info that comes from this database.
        I have another contact that is certain that Daniel comes fron Cheshire, and as the rest of the family for generations came from Cheshire i had no reason to question her.

          I was "certain" that my Cheshire relative came from Cheshire as the family had lived there since 1498.

          He was born and baptised in Wales!

          A tip when looking for Daniels - look for Davids. The two names are almost indistinguishable in old script.
