My John W Bennett did marry Mary Jane blue and they emigrated to America in 1906 I have followed John and his family through the American census records, what I didn't know is that when he came back to look up his family is that he brought his wife with him, I was led to believe he came alone as the children would have been to young to be left alone. this bit of information was given by my grandfather Joseph, johns brother.

All the records found point to John Bennett b 1874, Little Hulton - son of Richard and Frances (Fletcher).
None of the records show John William or John W.

In 1921 census, Little Hulton,  John Bennett states his place of birth is Little Hulton as does his emigration record in 1922.

I apologise for repeating myself but this is not the family of John William, son of Henry.

My John W Bennett did marry Mary Jane blue and they emigrated to America in 1906 I have followed John and his family through the American census records, what I didn't know is that when he came back to look up his family is that he brought his wife with him, I was led to believe he came alone as the children would have been to young to be left alone. this bit of information was given by my grandfather Joseph, johns brother.

This family travel back and forth a few times. As I posted earlier, they are in Little Hulton in 1921, then back in US by 1930.
Margaret Jane and daughter Pearl travel back to New Bury, Bolton (Farnworth) in 1932.
Margaret Jane dies in Farnworth in 1936.
