« on: Friday 27 May 11 14:11 BST (UK) »
Hi.
I am approaching my 25th birthday, and have now a huge sleepless urge to know more and more about the people who walked before me with my name. Please help me. I am moving to England in Septmeber of this year (2011) and it would be amazing to walk in those streets with a richer bond.
This is what I've known so far.
We will start with the earliest.
Charles Bennett
born 18.12.1796***
Marries
Sarah Blackhall (b. 17.6.1799***)
They have 5 Children Charlotte, Caroline, John Thomas Blackhall, William, Frederick. Frederick (born circa 1832, in Deptford, London) Will meet Ann Mason born of Hampshire at an unknown date. They have two children in England. Frederick Jnr Bennett and William George Bennett. ***Meanwhile his mother Sarah Blackhall leaves Charles, father, and moves to live with her son (Frederick Snr's Brother) William Bennett, in the Jersey Isle.
Frederick Snr & Ann Bennett (nee Mason) along with 2 sons, leave England for New Zealand on the Solent 1857 bound for Auckland (They had 6 more children in NZ, kate, thomas blackhall, emily, rachel, rebecca and frances)(Frederick Snr died 1897, 16 June, in Tararu NZ). I am more interested in the earlier years of my family History. I am looking for more information about Charles and Sarah, occupations, registry, parents. What was William doing in the Jersey Isle? etc...
Post New Zealand arrival is something easier gained, so i do not need help in this department.
Help me learn more about my Great great great great grandfather and grandmother.
Thank You in advance for your time, and if you have any information, I will be humbly grateful.
