Look up Cheshire pre 1871

[elizabennett]

I would be most grateful for any information on the family of Philip Bennett born 13th March 1858 in Burland, Cheshire. His father was George - sorry but I have no information at all on him. He is not on the 1871 census, only have his name from Philips birth certificate.
Philip and his mother Elizabeth were living in Acton in 1871.

Philips mother Elizabeth - nee Boote was born in Wrenbury abt 1812.

Do you have a marrige cert for George and Elizabeth?
Elizabeth was a Widow in 1871 so i looked for a death for George but there were far too many to establish which ,if any was his.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
 I dont have a marriage certificate. I have looked but so far not found anything, also as you say too many deaths to find right one.
Also  I have traced Elizabeth through the available census reg for 71. and have yet to do 81-91 and 01.

Yes I also found that...but not 100% certain it is her as the birthplace is Newall and not Wrenbury.
Thanks again for your time and effort

Hi Eliza

              I think Joe is right with the 1881 as she is living a few doors away from the Smithy as she was in 1871. Also the townships of Newhall, Acton and Faddiley are all in the Parish of Wrenbury, in the earlier census's she seems to flit between them all.

Firstly please accept my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I had to go away unexpectedly and only returned this afternoon.
Thank you  very much for the information on the family of George and Elizabeth.
I have only recently started to delve into my ancestors and now look forward to trying to find out about George and Elizabeth's parents.
Again many thanks for the information.
