My great grandmother, Lottie Dickins


Bennett Family Bristol 19th century lookup please
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 20:46 UTC (UK) »

I have a Matthew Bennett in my family tree, who gives his birthplace as variously St Paul's, Bristol or Bristol.  He was married to Ruth, and I *think* my great great grandmother, his daughter, Elizabeth, was also born in Bristol in 1854 although she wasn't baptised until they moved to London four years later.

His birthdate would be around 1810 from the census returns.  I don't have any other information about him except that he is variously shown as a collector or superintendent in the census and on his daughter's baptismal record.

Thank you :-).

Hi Caliandris,

Sorry, this is not much help with earler records of Matthew - just to say the family are already in Middlesex in 1851:

1851
HO107/1525 351 46
St Giles Cripplegate, Middlesex
6 Youngs Buildings

Mathew Bennett, head, 41, Currier Journeyman, b. Bristol
Ruth, wife, 38, b. Devon Git**
Alfred, son, 18, Hatter Journeyman, b. Bristol
Eliza, dau, 12, b. do.
Edwin D, son, 9, b. do.
Luke, son, 4, b. London
William Smith, lodger, unm, 22, Currier Journeyman, b. Bristol
James W Morgan, lodger, unm, 18, Smith Blk Journeyman, b. do.

Luke was christened at Islington in 1848. (Strangely, Edwin Daniel was christened later than Luke - at age 9 - in 1851)

Caliandris,

I suppose you've found the submitted entry in the IGI which gives an M.B. in St P & J Bristol.

There's none given for St P & J in the Hugh Wallis site but in the list of batches not in the site http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,275211.0.html  you'll find St P & J's

May not help with M.B directly but may lead somewhere useful.

Regards

Chas
