I have been aware, without quantifying them, that there were some big gaps in my paternal g-g-parents' family - assuming I've been picking up the correct records on the way.
George BENNETT m Hannah BOOTH 14 Dec 1862 Tipton, Staffs
~~ 9 years ~~
birth of child: Mary Hannah BENNETT 1871q4 Bolton, Lancs
birth of child: Arthur BENNETT b Nov/Dec 1873 Masham, Yorks
~~ 7 years ~~
birth of child: Harry (George) BENNETT 3 Jan 1881 Glossop, Derbys
~~ 6 years + ~~
birth of child: Leonard BENNETT 6 Mar 1887 Handsworth, B'ham
I feel I should be having a look at these, but it gets complicated because of the combination of a not-unusual surname and a lot of moving around. These are the only ones who show up on the census. Hannah was widowed in 1898, and there is (correctly) no entry in 1911 for years of marriage, nor for numbers of children alive/dead.
Any ideas?
