Looking for info on John Bennett

[Tomster]

I have Jimmy's and Glady's Birth Cert. You will note that Gladys was only 10 when her mom died in 1917. I don't know where she went after that but she was only 16, living and working as a waitress on her own when she married Hodgson in 1923. She obviously lied about her age (gets it from her mom I guess).

Sami - I think Tom has them.

Right you are    Between not reading the posts properly and the dates on the 1911 Census I got thoroughly mixed up

Not mixed up Sami  I thought it was a good question.

Hi DB

I haven't seen the information reported in the way you have it (where did you get this from?). But I got info from the staff at Mountain view Cemetery, stood next to his grave where Jessie Fisher/Bennett is also buried. I am very puzzled as to who Mrs. B. Wolfe is. Could be Emily or Gladys?? Gladys was married a number of times: first Hodgson in 1923 in Vancouver and Meriwether in San Francisco after 1940, so Wolfe could be a possibility?

Hi Tom,

It was on A*******. It should be with Library and Archives Canada but for some reason
it isn't. My granddad's is there and he died in the late 50's.

Sandra....nice find.

Cheers,

I met Gladys and her husband Wayne Simpson a couple of times but I was too young to be included in "adult" conversation to so as to find out how many times and to whom she was married. So I didn't know she had married "Wolfe". This must be after she divorced Hodgson. I have a picture of her with her husband "Bob" (don't know last name) taken in 1940. Apparently, he was a heavy weight boxer.
