John willie Bennett

It would be good to get the accurate date though, it may help find him through other records and discount all that are possibilities

That’s true and we haven’t got very far with him, have we? It’s so frustrating.

The ‘other’ John Bennett and his family are well documented. I found more records earlier but thought it best not to post them as I feel sure they are not rayben’s family.

Hi,

Afraid I am coming to this post rather late but there are a couple of trees which suggest that John may have emigrated to Canada?

If so there is a potential emigration in 1906 from Liverpool to Quebec on a ship Lake Manitoba departing on 26 Sept 1906 possible occupation - Miner age 30, Could this be him?

The Canada 1926 Winnipeg North Centre census on familysearch.org has him as a Lodger at 325 Ballantyne Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba single, age 50. 

Perhaps worth looking into?

The transcript shows ‘born April 1875’

The civil registration shows June quarter 1875

Interestingly he is also entered as William a few lines below it.

That’s great. It may have been an error if someone was copying up the registers.

The 1873 marriage, St Paul, Warrington of Henry Bennett and Mary Tomlinson shows his father as John.

1871 3906 /89/21
Warrington
Henry Bennett 19yrs b Ormskirk with parents John and Emma.

We have 1881

1891 3098/11
Little Hulton, Bolton
Henry Bennett 38 yrs b Ormskirk, a Pavior with wife Emma - no children with them.

Marriage
1890 Henry Bennett and Emma Eckersley

Would this be Henry, the father of John Willie?

Just to keep it all together

George is possibly their only son, they are at that address  in previous census

Henry's father was Abraham Bennett , source 1862 marriage of Henry to Catherine Jones ,both of Little Hulton.

I don’t think that is the right Henry. Henry Bennett (widowed) married Emma Eckersley.
It is documented earlier.
She, though, is not with him after 1891 3098/11.

Henry’s occupation was a Pavior and was born abt 1852.

Yes  I agree,  I posted the burial of Catherine Bennett so he could be discounted.
