Title: Portsea 1871 Census - Bennett - Please
Post by: BenB on Monday 29 November 04 20:54 GMT (UK)
Hi
I hope you can help me with a look up in the 1871 census for:

William Bennett* who in 1871 I believe was living at :-

9 Albert Road, Southsea, Portsea Island, Landport
(from son Wm Henry birth cert of 1870)

Wm's* partner/wife at that time may have been
Sarah Jane Abbott.
From the result I am hoping to get to a wedding date, & other children, other searches have proved negative.

Thanks Anne

That really helps, it confirms she was using his name so I will now try to find a marriage.
