Title: Bennetts 1861
Post by: pedders on Tuesday 20 November 12 12:06 GMT (UK)

Would somebody be able to look up William Bennett and Thirza[h] Bennett in 1861 and 1871.  I believe that they were in Fenton in 1852 with at least one daugher Harriet who Thomas Pattison in 1872.  I know that by 1881 they were in Newcastle but it seems that another daughter Rachael born about 1861 was born in Wolverhampton.

Thirza is recorded as being a hawker so I am interested to track down her movements.

Thanks

Thanks

Where were they living? Was it Fenton followed by Wolverhampton?

In 1881 William was unemployed so I can only assume she was scratching a living however she could.
