Title: Bennett
Post by: keith57 on Monday 26 September 11 22:23 BST (UK)

Hi,
I am looking for any further information on Thomas George Bennett who  married Sarah Ann Coles in Aston in the quarter Jan/ March 1902 in Aston.  They had a son Thomas George Bennett b 27/10/1906 and George W. Bennett in 1911. Thomas George married Elsie Lowe on 04/10/1934 and on this cert. his father is deceased.  There is some information that Thomas George senior served in India at some time can anyone provide additional information.

Thanks Keith.

When was Thomas George Bennett senior born?

What was his occupation on the 1911 census and was he living in Warwickshire at that time

Does either his marriage cert or the 1911 census suggest any military connection?

Hi Carole,

I know from Thomas george juniors birth cert 1906 that they lived they lived at 70 Healey Street, Aston and Thomas senior was a brass burnisher i have no idea of how old he was.  I may have to send for his marriage cert.  The family folklore says he was pensioned out of the army and the family features have a dark complextion pointing to some indian genes in part of the family i don't know if that makes sense to you.

Thaks Keith.

Have you checked the 1911 census for the family which will give his age, birthplace and occupation?
