Looking for info on John Bennett

[Tomster]

Thanks Sami. Too bad the outcome wasn't better.

It was really generous/kind of Sami to go to the library and look for the obituary for Jessie, a shame it didn't give us her sisters names, perhaps they had already passed or they never kept in touch. 

Got hooked    on a Frederick Samuel Bennett who married a Jessie Greig 15 November 1871 St Sepulchre, Holborn. The date was almost the same (a year out) as that birth date for Jessie. Not unknown for parents to have a birth and marriage on the same day. Frederick was a minor and a traveller.  Could only find 1 child listed for them in 1872 Frederick John Bennett. Couldn't find any other birth for a Jessie Grieg or Bennett though to fit the couple.

I really have no idea what Jessie's sister's names were, but a place to start maybe the names she gave to her children : Doris, Gladys, Esther. Also, my grandfather indicated that Jessie was the oldest among the girls in her family.

You would have thought putting the parents names Frederick Bennett and Jeanette Richards into family search would have thrown up possibilities but that avenue produced nothing for me, even with surname variation.

Jimmy and Gladys are from Jessie and George. Emily is a puzzle though. She turned up on the 1911 Can Census. I had never heard of her and I don't know where she went.

James Fisher died 19 November 1940 Vancouver British Columbia - wife Constance
Father George Fisher and Mother Janet Bennett.

The 1911 Canadian census was the one that showed the wrong years of birth - James aged 4 was born 1905 and not 1897 - Gladys 3 years born 1907 and not 1898 so chances are the date for Emily aged 6 years was also wrong.

You seemed to have followed an Emily Monica Fisher/Colbourne on your tree -

I am not sure that I made the right connections for Emily.

I had been thinking that James and Gladys were from a previous marriage of George. When Gladys marries in 1923 - she puts 'Don't Know' for the mother's name. Plus her age at 21 puts her birth at 1902.

Do you have her Birth Cert.? Would it list Jessie's name?

Hi,

Sami - I think Tom has them.

Ontario Canada Births, James Fisher b. August 23, 1905 father George Fisher, mother
Jeanette Bennett

Ontario Canada Births, Gladys Esther Fisher b. December 29, 1907 father Joseph 
Fisher, mother Janett Bennett

Perhaps Gladys "adjusted" her age, as hubby was 22 at the time of their marriage.

George and Jeanette were married in June 1904. Since Emily was older, perhaps her
birth is registered as Bennett....or  ....not seeing it at the moment.

Cheers,
DB
