My Great Grandfather John Bennett was born Feb 2nd 1843 at Sixpenny Handley, Dorset, illegitimate son of Eliza Bennett. John was Baptised Apr 9th 1843. I can find no other record of John or Eliza until 1865 when John married Sarah Ann Prince in Sixpenny Handley. I can find no record at all of Eliza since or prior to John's birth. On John's marriage certificate he puts an Isaac Taper as his father.
Is there anyone out there who may be able to suggest where I go next. Thanks

Welcome Mallon !
Well, there IS a John Bennett - b1843, born and still living in Sixpenny Handley - but a Harriet is the only young female there (altho the page suggests a 60 year old Ann is the mother - just possible of course !)
1851 - HO107/1854; Folio: 119; Page: 7 - Sixpenny Handley
Deanland
Ann Bennet 60 Widow Head Pauper born Wiltshire
Harriett Bennet 17 dau Dorset Handley
John Bennet 8 son do
Maybe there's an older daughter Eliza somewhere in Service ?

I can see the family in 1841 - but no Eliza there (nor Harriet).
Also no death registered / yet transcribed 1843 - 1851 for Eliza in the Wimborne District ....

This looks likes the 1841 entry for family found above in 1851 -
1841 HO107/228/14 Folio 11 Page 14
Handley Street, Handley, Dorset
John Bennett 40 Ag Lab Y
Ann 45 Y
Phebe 14 Y
Able 12 Y
Simeon 9 Y
Rebeccah 7 Y
Ann 4 Y
And looking on the IGI, there are these christenings, with parents John and Ann -
Mary Elizabeth chr. 26th September 1824 Gussage St Michael, Dorset
Phoebe chr.10th December 1826 Gussage St Michael, Dorset
Harriet Rebecca chr, 14th June 1834 Gussage St Michael, Dorset
so, is Mary Elizabeth your Eliza? Harriet Rebecca must be the 7yr old Rebecca above.....
Regards
Catherine

Thankyou for these replies and I will certainly follow them up. As for the 1841 Census this does have possibilities as the name on John's Birth certificate as who registered the birth is another John Bennett.
Thanks again
