-
Thanks Heatherjulie / Radcliff......
Can't see any connection between these and my Dennis.....but it is possible as I haven't found all the details for the Bentleys yet.....like what happened to Ann Bentley (Dennis's mother), Elizabeth Bentley and John Bentley - they appear in the 1841 census with Mary and Sarah (Sarah is my g,g,g grandmum or something like that lol) but then in the 1851 census have disappeared....
Any who.....are there any newspaper archives online that I could look into for further information on Dennis??? Just intrigued as to what happened.....
-
I have checked the Newspapers using various searches, but I can`t find anything.
Also the 1851 census for Manchester and surrounds was water damaged in storage and whilst a considerable amount has been digitally recovered it is not complete.

I've just found this too Radcliff ...... also looking at the Baptisms John's mother was Ann....not Mary as indicated on the 1841 census....
Oh well....perhaps we shall never know....

Yes he is - this Dennis is my g,g,g grandfather.......in future census's he was living with his grandmother (Mary) as his mother Sarah had married Noah Hodcroft.....when Dennis came to marry he took on the Hodcroft name.....
Cholera Epidemic,
needs further research and clarification
Is it possible that this affected the rest of the family too??? As in Elizabeth, Ann & John??? I've not been able to find any death records for these yet.....apart from that possible one for John....
Will have a quick look on tinternet to see if there is any further info on the epidemic.....
