London and Middlesex / Cavendish & Bennett Family Connection
« on: Friday 10 September 10 20:32 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking for anyone that may hold the key to the connection between the Cavendish and Bennett families. Particularly I am interested in Charles Bennett who married Emily Cavendish in London 1871. (His second wife) Emily's parents were James Robert Cavendish and Louisa Ennis Cavendish and resided in Middlesex. I find it interesting that in the 1851 census Elizabeth Bennett (niece) is living with the Cavendish family and then in 1861 census James C Bennett (nephew) is living with the Cavendish family. Both children belong to Charles Bennett. It makes me wonder if Charles' first wife was not James Robert Cavendish's sister and then his second wife is really his niece Emily. Charles Bennett was a well know auctioneer in Dublin Ireland and his father's name was William Bennett. Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ellen
