Hello Vi

Did you ever find George Bennett  1802 and Agnes Lisle on 1841/1851 census.  They were my GGG Grandparents on Bennett side.

They have been mistranscribed on 1841 and the family are down as Bennitt. Thomas and James are on it

Dear Sparkle.
No i never did find that family in the 1841 Census.
  Would you please tell me where abouts they lived?
Thank you
Vi.

No definate location of birth for any of them just says Durham - which stretched up that far in those days.

Hi Vi and sparkle,

Brilliant you have made a connection

I'll just post the ref for 1841
HO107 318 8 9

1841 census just gives po.b. as Yes or No - as to whether they were born in the county they were living in

ages of adults over 15 years were rounded down to the nearest 5 years

relationships and marital status were not given

Happy hunting to both

Hi Sue and welcome to rootschat,

It certainly looks as if the Agnes on the 1871 census could be yours.  I don't see her baptism in the Bishops transcripts of the parish records for Ancroft though.  It could be that she was baptised elsewhere or could she possibly have been presbyterian - there was quite a strong presbyterian presence in that area.
