This Florence is the daughter of William, brother of John Bennett of steam mills. Is there a marriage to access of Florence Bennett, 1877, daughter of John Bennett and sister of Samuel Bennett my Grandfather?

Do you think John is the son of Samuel and Harriet and not as I suggested James and Deborah? I'm having to re-read all the old messages. I'm not experienced enough to know which John is which.

This all seems right. I know my grandfather had a sister florrie , who had a daughter frances because I met frances once. But john's year of birth is different from what I have.

I've got his father as John Bennett born 1863 and his grandfather as Henry Bennett born 1830. I think john's wife was Louisa and Henry's Sarah.

The best fit for that line is across the river in Bristol.....

The details from the 1891 census could be right but i don't think the later ones are. I had no idea of florences married name, it could be James. Thanks

Thanks for the info. The 1911 census detail for samuel is correct, I think, but not the 1901 or 1891 and the birth entry for 1888 is correct. It would be great to find a census record of the head (John), his wife and their children.

No I don't think they moved away from FOD. I've got his father as John Bennett born 1863 and his grandfather as Henry Bennett born 1830. I think john's wife was Louisa and Henry's Sarah. Don't know anything about the wife's families, or their maiden names. Samuel had 4 siblings, i think, but haven't found them in a census. I remember talk of a Florrie and possibly her daughter Frances. I think they lived in Drybrook. Frances may have had children my age.

Does anyone know any facts about my grandfather Samuel Bennett born 23rd Feb 1888. He married Alice Cooper in 1912. He was born in soudley and was a collier. I know there were brothers and sisters and their decsendants.
