The death of Joseph BENTLEY and it looks like their second child Florence must have been born just after Joseph's death

Hi kesham,

If you read Rebecca GRIFFITHS' funeral notice it mentions:

Mr A. BENTLEY - this would be Alexander, son of Rebecca from her first marriage to Joseph BENTLEY
Mr and Mrs C. JENNENS - this would be Florence, daughter of Rebecca from her first marriage to Joseph BENTLEY.  Florence married Charles JENNENS in 1897.

It also mentions Rebecca's daughters from her second marriage to John GRIFFITHS - Emma and Lily, married surnames PERIGO and JACKSON.
