Looking for James Bennett, father to James. James the son was residing in Ruardean in 1870 when he married Elizabeth Tingle Reed. He was born in 1841.

James the father was a Haulier on the marriage certificate. James the son is my great grandfather. Most of the Bennetts belonging to my family seem to come from Ruardean and surrounding District i.e. Ruardean Woodside, Moorwood etc.

Have found one James with a son James, but he is a farmer employing 2 labourers, but I cannot find any other details to make this the James I am looking for.

I lived on the Pludds as a child. My father was Harold George Frank, and my Grandfather was George John Bennett married to Barbara Whitson.
