NZ Certs have amazing info on them.

I don't know if there is anything in this. There is a lot of Will's with a lot of familiar names! 

...Deeper into the rabbit hole goes Alice...

This might be repeating what has been said earlier, but:

From what Ryan said in his initial post, I'm 99% sure that is the correct family in the 1841 census in St Paul, Blackheath, Kent. Blackheath, although in Kent then is now part of greater London and is on the south bank of the Thames, near Greenwich.

Charles 1797   not born in county
Sarah 1800      not born in county
Thomas 1824   born in county
William 1828    not born in county
Frederick 1832 born in county
Emily 1835       born in county
Amelia 1839     born in county

There is a baptism for

John Thomas Blackhall Bennett
mother Sarah
father Charles Wooton Bennett  a victualler
21st May 1824  St Giles Camberwell  (same church where his parents, married)

I really dont think that the 1851 and 1861 are the same people. I cant see why your Charles would be born in Staffordshire.

If you sent for Frederick Bennett and Ann Mason's marriage certificate - March quarter 1852 Greenwich 1d 624 that might confirm it one way or the other as it will probably say if Frederick's father was still alive.

I have looked over everything again and yes as Groom says I would get the Marriage Cert of Frederick and Ann if I were you to confirm his Fathers name and occp.
Generations further back look OK though.

EDIT, I would also buy Fredericks NZ Death Cert if no one else in the Family has it.

I emailed. they do not think that my Bennett's are from Kent, and do indeed believe they were from Staffordshire... interesting.

Back tomorrow Ryan.
Will look over it again.
