Hi Thank you for looking.
I am trying to find the Bennison family. Especially Joseph, I know he comes from Yorkshire but which area. I'm taking a guess hes moved to Lancs as his daughter Ann marries there in 1863.
Joseph marries Hannah Scarrow in 1822, Cockermouth, Cumberland.
Here they are in 1841-
New Lowther St, Whitehaven, Cumberland
Joseph Bennison 35 (looks like) Publican No
Hannah 36 Y
Dorothy 16 F.S Y
Jane 14 Y
William 12 Y
John 8 Y
Joseph 4 Y
Ann 1 Y
Joseph (senior) was born in Yorkshire (1800), in 1863 (daughters marriage cert, in Liverpool) he's a Warehouseman. In 1871 census(Lancs) he is 70, mar, no occ, born Yorkshire.
His area of birth eludes me. Apparently there are alot of Bennisons in the Yorkshire area, so until I can find an area I'm stuck.
Thank you in anticipation

I am Looking for more information on my grandfather Frank Scarrow Bennison / father Joeseph Bennison of Frankby Mannor.
After the Boer War he immigrated to Sheppard Alberta, Canada. In 1903 moved to Eastleigh Saskatchewan, Canada. Where he married Nora Hall. His Brother Lee Bennison came to Eastleigh after the San Francisco earthquake 1906 to gain employment as a carpenter. He stayed in Eastleigh SK till he was found dead plowing a field in 1942. Frank and Lee's sister Alice came over in the spring of 1912 on the White Star Line, shortly before the Titanic's maiden voiage. Frank returned to England in early 1912 to finish up the affairs of his decesist father Joeseph Bennison. He then Returned with him to Canada. Franks younger sisters Alice and __________ came to the farm at Eastleigh Saskatchewan. Frank Scarrow Bennison Died of his Boar War contact with Malaria in 1927 Leaving his two remaining sons Bob and Glen Bennison.

Hey Cousin! Don't forget Bob and Glenn's sister Emily and their mom Nora.
Alice and Franks sister was Edith.
-
Also I didn't know about contact with Malaria being his cause of death, I thought was told it was his heart.

Hi,
it is ages since I picked up this leg of the family, so I have been trying to refresh my mind.
My link to this family:
Thomas Lee married Ann Elizabeth Bennison 5th March 1863 these are my Great Great Grandparents. I suspect that Emily Ann Lee met Joesph Bennison at this wedding, they married Dec 1867.
Frankby Manor is not as grand as it sounds. Emily died in Hoylake 1908 and Joesph also died in Hoylake 1911 and are buried in the same unmarked grave at Frankby Church.
I was born and raised in West Kirby, which is only a couple of miles from Frankby so know this area well, although I now live 200+ miles away.

Libby, U R the closest relative I have found. I'm the last of the Bennisons that came 2 Canada.The two Bennisons buried at the church in Frankby, are my great grand parents. There are no markers on the graves when I visited in 1991.Hope u can add to my family history.Any info I have, will send if u want.
Best regards

Libby, I'm new to this system, but I will reiterate some what, of what I said to Dawn, I don't know where u fit in on the Bennison line, but I'm trying to find the descendants of both Joseph Jr. and Sr.1800's, and their parents, to c how everyone fits together.A family tree would b very helpful. Joe Sr. had a rice,seed and spice business at 37 Williamson St. in Liverpool. He split with his partner, John C Johnson 31 mar. 1879. Started Bennison & Co. 1st. may 1879. He was mostly supplied by his son Joseph Jr. with the commodities that he sold to his father, back in Liverpool, from his plantation in Ceylon, Joe Jr. finished his days at Frankby manor in Frankby, just south of the river Dee. He and his wife r buried in the church grave yard (no monuments).I would very much like to c what happened to the brothers and sisters of my grand father, Frank Scarrow, and their descendants. Regards,Michael R. Bennison

Hi Michael, it is a while since I looked at this leg of the tree, but basically :- Joseph Bennison who married Hannah Scarrow, are my 3 x Great Grandparents, in 1863 their daughter Ann Elizabeth married Thomas Lee, (my 2 x Great Grandparents)I believe this is where your Joesph met Emily Ann Lee and later married her (1867). I knew about the unmarked graves as I was born and raised only a few miles away, although I now live over 300 miles away. Can't really give you much more as its on an open forum.

Hello, I'm the great-grandson of Emily, Frank Scarrow Bennison's daughter. I'd always heard Frank was born in Sri Lanka, but I might have been mistaken. Very interesting, this.

Good Morning Harrison and a warm welcome to Rootschat
I can tell you that a William Bennison was born in Uva , Sri Lanka - there is a record on www.geneanet.org
have you any knowledge of the family being in Uva ???
does anyone know Sandy Burbank ?
he / she has Frank Scarrow Bennison marrying Norah Jeanette Hall on the 25th July 1906 in Alberta Canada

Ah, thank you for that!
Hmm, William Bennison... well, there can't be that many Bennisons, can they? I've never heard the name, outside that side of the family.
-
If you can give me a few days I will have a look for you. My mum died before Christmas and her funeral was only yesterday.

Joseph Bennison and Hannah Scarrow are my GGGGrandparents.
Frank Scarrow Bennison was baptised August 23rd 1826. His parents Joseph and Emily Ann Bennison nee Lee. They had 6 children : Hannah Eliza (Lillie)1869 Ceylon, Alice Maud 1872 Ceylon, Joseph James lee (Lee) 1875 Ceylon, Frank Scarrow 1876 Chester, Percy John 1878 Chester, Helen Muriel 1886 Frankby, Chester.
I believe Emily Ann Lee met Joseph Bennison at her brothers marriage Thomas Lee to Ann Elizabeth Bennison in 1863.
I haven't found any William in this family.
If there is anything else I can help you with please let me know.

Ah, thanks, Libby. I suppose that makes us fourth cousins (they're my great-great-great-grandparents also).
