HI
Caroline & Edward were married in the parish of Christ Church, Southwark, Surrey.
Caroline lived at 8 Isabelle Street and her father is given as Thomas Little Jenner, occupation carman.
The marriage was witnessed by Thomas Jenner and Cecilia Caroline Benson (who was Edward's sister)
I have since found Matilda Jenner on 1901 census she was a widow living in the parish of St Jude, Southwark, born Herne Village, Kent.
1871 census shows them in parish of St Saviour, Southwark 23 Jane Street

Hi
I am very stuck with my husband's family who came from Kent.  Caroline Frances Jenner was age 22 when she married Edward Percival Benson in 1888.  Her father was called Thomas Little Jenner and he was a carman.  I can only find them on the 1871 census where she is living in Southwark, London.
It says Caroline was age 5 and born in Middlesex but her father, Thomas, was born in Bredgar, Kent.  Her mother, Matilda, was born in Herne.  I can find no other trace of them in the census returns.  I have done an IGI search and found a George Jenner & Mary Fisher with several children including a Thomas born 1839, all born in Bredgar.  There is also a daughter Caroline and another called Frances which led me to believe that this was the right family but an IGI search for marriages shows a George Jenner married to a Mary Little in 1816 in Rochester and that makes me think is that Thomas's parents because his middle name is given as little.

Can anyone help?  Would be really grateful

Debbie 

Thanks again

Thanks again Stan
I have found a possible family in 1851 East Boldon so just need to try and find a connection.  Do you know where the BMD records are held for this area  Think I need a visit to the record office
