Title: Catherine BENNETT lookup please - 1851
Post by: shelleyf on Wednesday 30 August 06 23:31 BST (UK)

I wonder if anyone can find this family in 1851.
In 1841 they are living in Norfolk Place, Liverpool.
Catherine Bennets       30
Jane "" 15
Arthur ""       14
Catherine ""    7
James ""        3

In 1851 I have the same (I think) Arthur and Catherine lodging in Flint St along with a 19 yo Frank Bennett who I suspect might be my 2nd great grandfather. 

Can anyone find Catherine (40 in 1851) and James (13), or Jane (25) Bennett in 1851? 

Thanks
Shelley

Hi
Have looked up BMD recorde for Liverpool and there are deaths recorded that match all 3 of your missing names  in the death indexi and it is probable that copies of their certificates- particularl Catherine (died 1843) may be of interest to you.
Hope this helps
regards
George

Thanks for these replies.

Tricia - they were all born in the County
George - thanks for the lookups.

Looks like they are not able to be traced.  I am trying to find the connection (if any) between my Francis Bennett and this family.

Here are (I think) Catherine (daughter) and Arthur in 1851
Bennett, Arthur                -    Roper, Lancs, Liverpool
Bennett, Catherine           -    --, Lancs, Liverpool
Bennett,  Frank               -     Dock Labourer, Lancs, Liverpool

Yes, thanks for that George. 

This is what I have for 1851:

Elizabeth Fearus        33      Ireland 1818    head (W)        Lodginghouse keeper
Sarah Ann ""    17      Ireland 1834    dau     Dressmaker
William ""      15      Ireland 1836    son     App
Eliza Jane ""   9       Ireland 1842    dau     
Arthur Bennett  25      Liverpool       1826    lodger  Roper
Frank ""        19      Liverpool       1832    lodger  Dock labourer
Catherine ""    17      Liverpool       1834    lodger 

and then 1861
Arthur Bennett abt 1831 Liverpool, Head, Roper
Elizabeth Bennett abt 1821 Ireland, wife
William Ferron abt 1838 Ireland, son
Mary Ferron abt 1835 Liverpool, daughter-in-law
Elisha F Ferron abt 1841, dau

I reckon he's gone off and married the lady who was running the boarding house in 1851!

I have found a marriage for Arthur and Elizabeth in 1857 (IGI)
ARTHUR BENNETT 
Marriages:
  Spouse:  ELIZABETH FERRON   
  Marriage:  22 FEB 1857   Saint Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England 


Can you find Arthur and Elizabeth in 1871?  I haven't been able to find them in 1881.

The Francis/Frank Bennett from 1851 is my 2x great grandfather (fairly sure he's the one).  By 1868 he is in Australia, getting married.  Not sure where he was in 1861.
