I just read some threads with interest. I am trying to find my ancestors back from my Grandfather, this is what I have so far;
I have traced BENNETT name back to 6th October 1876. This is when my Great Grand Parents were married.
They were married in WARWICK, QLD, the name on the marriage certificate is Henry Pillinger MABLE married Janet Sophia WHITE. His parents are recorded on the Marriage Certificate as John MABLE and Mary ANN SALMONNIE, he was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND, however, this cannot be substantiate.
My Grandfather was born in 1877 and name recorded on his birth certificate is Henry William MABLE, my Great Uncle was born 1880 as George Charles MABLE, he died 9th January 1883 (2 ½), his name on his death Certificate is George Charles BENNETT.
So somewhere between when George Charles was born and his death the name changed from MABLE to BENNETT for reasons unknown. I do not know if the name was changed back to BENNETT or to BENNETT.
The family seemed to move around the Inglewood, Warwick, Leyburn, South Toolburra and some of the towns in between.
One son James Arthur BENNETT has his place of birth recorded on his death certificate as TENTERFIELD, however, on his birth certificate his name is James Arthur White PATTERSON, his date of birth is 6th June 1882.
A daughter Daisy was born in Goulburn and married a William James NEELAND in Brisbane in 1928.
A daughter May Elizabeth was born in Sydney Benevolent Society, her name recorded on her Birth Certificate is May Elizabeth Jane Kelly.
The last three children were not Henry Pillinger MABLE, Aka Henry William BENNETT’s.
