1871 census Lookup for George BENNETT

[chris.corrall]

Hi
Could anyone help with a lookup for George or his brother William BENNETT in the 1871 census please.
On the 1881 they are at Smithwood Common, Cranleigh. REF  RG11 0792/95 page 21.
William BENNETT is age 29 & George is aged 32.
Both give their birthplace as Cranleigh.
Many thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

On the 1871 Census, I have found William Bennett, 18, unmarried, an Ag. Serv. Indoor at New Park Farm, Cranleigh, Surrey. He was born in Cranleigh. This is the farm of Edward Stanford, 42.
(Note the name Edward Stanford, 21, on 1881 Census!)

Ref is RG 10 / 825, Registration district Hambledon, Sub-registration district Cranley, ED, institution, or vessel 4, Folio 53, Page 2, Household schedule number 8.

George Bennett was entered as born at Crawley on searching, but the entry is written Cranley (spelling!).
George, 21, unmarried, Ag. Lab, lives with parents Jacob, 62, born Cranley, and Mary, 57, born Alford, Surrey. He has younger brother, Albert, 15.

Ref is RG 10 / 825, Registration district Hambledon, Sub-registration district Cranley, ED, institution, or vessel 5, Folio 65, Page 6, Household schedule number 24.

Hope this helps you, Chris.
Regards, B

Hi B

This is brilliant news. It all makes sense too because William's wife was a Harriet Stanford from Warnham & William's brother George married Elisa Stanford who was of course Harriet's sister.
Many thanks for all your help
