World War One / Re: 19/8/16 William Faris Hetherington, Private of the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles
« on: Friday 27 January 17 00:47 GMT (UK)  »
I am doing some genealogy research on my Grandmother's family, and I'm wondering if
we might have a family connection.

My Grandmother, Fanny Beattie was born in Co. Fermanagh in 1888.  Her parents were James Beattie and Helena Hetherington.  Helena was born in 1857.  Helena's father was William Hetherington.  He was a farmer.  They lived in the area around Pettigo.  I think they lived in Co. Donegal as well. 

Helena emigrated to the U.S. in 1922.  She lived in New Jersey and is buried there.   

Hope to hear from you.

Bobi, hello again.  I guess were related!  This is my third posting so I will now be able to receive and send private messages.  I also have photos and lots of information I can share with you.  Can you send me a private message with an email address so I will know how to contact you.  Oddly enough, I will be traveling to Ireland in October and one of the places I'm planning to visit is Tipperary.  Our shared information might help in discovering more about the Bennett Family.  Looking forward to hearing from you!

Bobi.com -Thanks for responding to my personal message.  As a  new member I and am unable to reply to your PM until I have  posted three times.  My grandfather was Albert Godfrey Bennett, born December 24, 1876 in Templemore, County Tipperary, Ireland.  He was the son of John Bennett and Florence Emma Matear and he had three siblings - John Arthur Bennett, Frances Bennett and Huonida Bennett.  It is my understanding that John Arthur Bennett was born in Ireland in 1873 and that sometime before 1911 he emigrated to Australia.  Albert Godfrey died in 1926 and his obituary listed him as having a brother in Australia.  Does this confirm any information you have on your grandfather?

Can you send me a private message for more information.
