  • census lookup

    Hi,

    Could anyone have a look for Henry Bennet(t), wife Margaret, children Joanna b1852, Laura Caroline 1845 (twin), Thomas Theophilus 1845 (twin) (All born St Botolph without Aldgate, London ) on census please. Son William wasn't with them on the 1861 so hopefully someone can find the rest of the family. They married in 1844.

    Thanks very much, hoping someone can help,

    treesa


    Thomas died, so another child named the same b 1851

    and Ann Elizabeth b1849

          Thanks very much, I don't know if this is them as I don't have access to the census, I'm afraid. Can you give me any more details please?

          thanks,

              That's great, thanks very much. This looks like them. Does it state where they were born and any occupations?

                Just noticed Margaret is on her own on the 61. Is she a widow?

                  Please don't ask me how the "twins" seem to be born in different places - the writing is quite difficult to read. The younger children born in Aldgate have ditto marks for their birthplaces after the first Aldgate born[/COLOR]

                    Margaret born Malta, wow. Not sure if my family, but the only lead I have. Also son William seems to be duplicated on the 61. He is with grandparents and stated as pupil teacher, which could tie in with collegeman for Henry?

                    many thanks for your help,

                      Didn't realise this was a follow on from your other thread - just linked the two together!


                      How do you know the names of the mother and father of William Bennett - who is on the 1861 census with his grandparents Peter and Mary Nichols.

                      On the 1861 census William gives his place of birth as Acton - whereas the one in this family is listed as being born Aldgate.

                        This could be William Bennett in 1851
                        James Bennitt c1824 Lambeth, Surrey - occupation groom
                        Mary Bennitt c 1825 St Jos, Middlesex
                        William Bennitt c1848 Acton, Middlesex

                        living in Niton, Berkshire (which is the same place as where his grandparents lived in 1851)

                          Thanks very much

                          Yes, I was loking for WIlliam that you found on the 61 with his grandparents. I had found a marriage (Henry Bennet and Margaret Nichols) which I thought was a lead in determining who Williams parents were.

                          So I am looking for a marriage c1843-1848 to confirm the right family. Will have a look

                              I have found a marriage between a James Bennett and a Mary Cread 1847, Brentford.

                              There is a Mary Creach? or Cread on the 41 with Peter and Mary Nicholls, who are on the 61 with Grandson William Bennet.

                              So I am confused now!!

                                erm, whats confusing about it? Mary could have been with Peter and Mary on census night, so why couldnt she marry James in 1847? and depending how old Mary Creach was it could be a second marriage for her? IF her MN was Nicholls.

                                  Mary was with Peter and Mary on the 41, and the marriage is 1847, but I was expecting her name to be Nicholls. So when I saw that marriage as a possible, I was puzzled as William, son of James and Mary, is down as grandson on the 61. Mary was 15 in 1841. So that would make her c21 or more at her marriage. So not a second marriage. SO maybe the answer lies with Peter and Mary! Maybe they 'adopted' William as their grandson on the 61 because he was staying with them?
