Gloucestershire Parish Church Montages

and go down to Ruardean - there appears to be Wall tablets in the Church for John & Lydia BENNETT and many more BENNETT's including Charles (photograph of his tablet, mentioning his two children who died in infancy)- so assume they owned the house that Frances was left to live in…..

-- and back to the Newspaper article….

'The inducement to commit the murders was no other than a desire to retain property which would have been forfeited had her second marriage been known'
