Cornelius lived in Shifnel, Shropshire from 1830 /1880. He was an organist and a Professor of music and a music teacher. His father was John Bennett 44 years Choral Vicar at Lichfield Cathedral. Cornelius belonged to several Birmingham Lodges. He lived in High Street and The Grove, Horse Fair. How/where did he become a Professor? Does he have a headstone? Is there a memorial in the church to him? He had many talented children born in Shifnel who all drifted to London to take up medicine, dentistry, music, law etc. Any photos or snippets of information to fill out the life of this chap please?
