Hi Australind, hope you're still following this interesting thread which you started, as you haven't been on Rootschat for a few weeks. You mentioned that Caroline had 14 siblings ie 15 in all. Do you think you could list them with their baptism dates as I can only find twelve on the IGI, plus a possible one or two others from the 1841 census (Lydia) and a Martha

Many thanks

David

Have recently read your postings on your other Bennett thread.
I cannot find,so far,any link between Somerset/Bedfordshire Bennett families.
Research indicates our Bennett line is from John Bennett son of Thomas/Sarah
Bapt.23June 1771 at Aspley Guise ,who married Elisabeth Phillips 30 March 1792
at Salford Bedfordshire.
Their first child Sarah was Bapt.24March 1793 at Salford and was buried 6Nov.1801 at Aspley Guise.
The next 12children were Bapt.at A/G  and the last two,Lydia and Martha ,were Bapt.at Newport
Pagnell Weyslian Bucks..
There may be more children of course and i just havent located them.
Regards,
Australind

This is for Janan - as promised, here is the picture of Miss Underwood.  I don't have a date for it but imagine it was taken not long after FJ Bennett emigrated to NZ in 1863.  of course, this is just speculation and it may have been taken later. (Gosh - didn't realise it would look so big once posted!)

Cheers, Juben

Hi Juben

Thanks for posting little Miss Underwood, whoever she may be Would you mind if I posted a link to this thread on the Photographic board so the amazing people there might be able to date it?

No problem at all. Cheers, Juben

Thanks Juben,

I've done that and the answers confirm the lovely picture is most likely of Annie as you thought

If you are able to get a better scan at 300dpi and post the photo on the Photograph restoration and dating board some kind and clever souls will clean it up for you.

Thanks for that Janan - what a great service!  Unfortunately I am not in possession of the original - it resides with cousins who don't have access to digital media - of any description.  This copy was taken with a digital camera on a recent visit.  I'm not sure when I will next have an opportunity to get a better shot. However, now that I know this marvellous service exists, I may try it with another photo I am trying to date.  Best regards, Juben.
