death records Wayne Michigan for BENNETT family

[Helene hanff]

I have found the death record for Mary BENNETT who died in 1902 Detroit Wayne and her daughter Sarah KENTLE who died in 1887 Hamtramck Wayne Michigan . I know her sons William born 1858 and Stephen born 1865 also left the UK and settled in Michigan I have found census records for William giving his birth as 1860, but haven't found anything for Stephen although there is a "tree" for the family with the death for Stephen as 2 sep 1892 Detroit Wayne. Any help with this family would be excellent.
Thanks

This looks like the baptism for Stephen Bennett b 25 November 1865 baptized 22 April Northwold Norfolk England father William Bennett mother Mary Garrod Bennett

This could be a marriage to consider 9/8/1890 Essex Canada
Stephen Bennett age 26 b England occupation moulder residence when married Detroit father Wm Bennett mother Mary Garrett
Married a Catherine Jolly age 31 b England her residence at time of marriage Detroit her father Fred mother Catherine Geddes
Witness Mary Bennett her residence Detroit other witness hard to make out

There was a immigration record for a Stephen Bennett b 1866 England age 14  (Farm Lab) on the 29/8/1880 ship Polynesian going Quebec along with him Mary Bennett age 44 (wife )Sarah age 19
I don't know if this would be your same family

A Catherine Bennett matching the same birth place and year appears in the census from 1900 in Detroit as widowed ..In the U S City Directories 1899 55, Stimson Detroit Michigan Catherine is listed as widow of Stephen ..Stephen Bennett listed as a moulder in previous ones

Gosh thanks for that. I must admit it does seem right to me especially as the immigration record works for Mary born 1835 and Stephen born 1865, and Sarah. I did struggle to find information about the family once they left the UK.If Stephen was married in Canada he could have lived there for a while. I had made the mistake of assuming because Michigan was near New York that they would have arrived there. Serves me right lesson learned

William was a molder of "stove plate" or that's what it looks like according to the 1910 census, then in 1920 he was a sheet metal worker and finally in 1930 he was a book salesman. That is of course if this is the correct man. According to the census he says he immigrated in 1878 or 1886. He married Emma Weiss in 1885.

Thanks a million

This looks like the death record for Catherine Bennett, nee Jolly/Jollie:  http://seekingmichigan.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16317coll1/id/979263

There are a number of good online sources for deaths in Michigan.  There are some links here:  http://deathindexes.com/michigan/index.html  I didn't see a match for Stephen in 1892, but maybe his name was mangled.

Yes hard to prove this is the same person maybe a death will confirm his parent's if you can find one ...
I see a tree with the same William married to a Emily Harwood Macraw died 1936 Whittington Norfolk with a picture of his grave ...

William Bennett Baptism 16/5/1858 Northwold Parish Norfolk
Herbert Bennett born 7/12/1860 baptism Northwold Parish
Emma Bennett baptism 4/5/1856 Northwold Parish all the same parent's incase you don't have these

"Moulder" on the marriage of William and Emma as well.

There was a death of a William Bennett 16 May 1931 but the age would have been out, he was born 1866 ?

William and Emma were living with the Blackett family on the 1920 so perhaps both passed on between 1920 - 1930 

The son William Weiss Bennett born 1888 may have passed away 27 November 1944 aged 56 years.
Father William Bennett Mother Emma.

Wilhelmina Bennett/Blackett passed away 19 May 1936 - Burial Evergreen Cemetery.

Wilhelmina buried at Evergreen Cemetery, could there be a family grave there - Wonder if it is worth checking with Evergreen Cemetery to see if William Bennett Snr and Emma Bennett or even Mary Garrod/Bennett are buried there ?
