World War One / Re: Ernest C Benn - Liverpool
« on: Monday 09 July 12 22:59 BST (UK) »
Hello. I was messaged via GR on Friday by 2 people. Sorry, only just got chance to look at my tree - haven't done anything for over 2 years.
Blimey!!
I don't know anything about Ernest Charles Benn b 1888 in Liverpool, except he was on census records in 1901. The GR census records had incorrectly transcribed surname as BERRN. Why do you want to know about Ernest? What is your relationship with him?
Ernest was brother to my mum's granddad Harry/ Henry Benn (B 1886 D 1931). My great granddad died just before my mum was born. As a small child, I met Ernest's sisters Mabel and Nellie. They both appear on mum's wedding pictures! I don't ever remember any talk about that Ernest B1886. Mum's granddad re-married after being widowed and the first son to his second wife was also named Ernest - he was born in 1919. (That may explain why he named his second son Ernest if his brother had been lost in the war??). Mum had a younger brother now about 72 - he is also named Ernest Benn and still living in Liverpool. I could try to ask him but he is quite frail now and may not know the answer. Sadly mum died about 18 months ago, so I can't ask her. Hope this helps!
