Well another Child at least
Thanks.

Think I might drop off this one for tonight and have a cup of tea

The witness at Charles and Sarah's marriage in 1820 was John Bennett. 

Sleep well, it's lunchtime here.

I've just had a thought - do you think the family in the census may be wrong?

In 1841 they had 5 children, 3 fairly young - Frederick born 1832, Emily 1835 and Amelia 1839. They were living in St Paul, Blackheath, Kent

In 1851 there is only Charles and Sarah, where are the children?

There is a Sarah Bennett born 1799  a widow with a daughter Emily born 1835, Kent Road. They are living in Camberwell in 1851, not far that from Blackheath. Have the 2 families got muddled?

I am actually quite speechless!! let me digest all of this and praise you properly! Fantastic skills you have!

Hi Ryan

I'm not sure that the 1851 and 1861 census for Sarah and Charles are correct. See what Trish thinks when she comes back on line.

That John was born in Staffordshire, do your family have any connections from there? Also there is the age difference of Sarah and the missing children. However if the 1851 I found in Camberwell is correct,that means that Charles died between 1841 and 1851.

There is a death of a Charles Bennett in 1848  in Camberwell March quarter vol 4 page 49.

Added: Camberwell is where they married.

Hi Jan!

My father would have more knowledge about our relation to Stafforshire, however I personally, All of this is VERY new to me. I knew i had English relatives, but 24 hours prior to my first post, i thought they were all up Durham north east way, an spoke with that proper geordie accent like, whey-aye man. haha

I am putting up a Tribal Pages family tree, and knowing it is public forum, i will not post anything in detail about any living persons.

Once i have the core foundations of it, i will display the link for your perusal and maybe even tell me where i may be incorrect.

Thank you again, for all of your work! I don't know how to thank you. This has all excited myself and my father very much

In 1841 Census no relationships are shown so the younger ones may be Grandchildren.

Back tomorrow,

Hey Trish! I will go up to the sunny coast soon ask my father about death records. I will also have a look over the things he has given me, because i am sure he has linked me to grave sites with g-stone photo's.
