My great grandpa John William Bennett was born at Ambleside in May 1865 to a family of carriers. He married a Kate Reynolds after his first wife (my great grandma) died and settled in Sutton Coldfield.
I understand from a descendant of his second wife that the marriage was not a good one and he was frequently away from home , trying I think, to keep the carrier business going.
He is on the 1901 with his parents in Ambleside and married but his second wife is in Sutton Coldfield.
His wife is on the 1911 at Sutton Coldfield with his daughter but I cant find him anywhere.
My grandpa came to Mellor Nr Blackburn and met my grandma and he is on the 1911 at Blackburn.but I cant find John William anywhere.
John William Bennett is on my grandpa wedding cert. as a "soilder" in 1917 but
Has anyone any ideas please?
Thanks for taking the trouble to read this.l
