Book: THE BENNETT STEAMSHIP COMPANY OF GOOLE

[jess5athome]

Hi, while researching my maternal GG Grandfather, Captain William Denby of Goole (with the wonderfull help of rootschatters) I have discovered a book by the GG Grandaughter of John Bennett, the founder of the Bennett Steamship Company.

The book is titled "Asleep In The Deep" and is a history of the company, the book looks to be a real treasure and could be of use to any rootschatters with an interest in the company or Goole area.
If you would ever be interested in the book let me know and I will put you in touch with the Author, Mrs Diane Brian.

Best regards always.

Hi Frank,

I believe my 2nd Great Grandfather ran the Bennett Steamship company, and I'd really appreciate it if you could put me in touch with Mrs Diane Brian.

Kind Regards

Hi Frank,

Thank you for responding.  I found Diane's contact details elsewhere and spoke to her this morning.  We're second cousins, and she's sending me a copy of the book.  I can't wait to find out all the family gossip.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I also believe that I have a distant connection to the Bennett shipping line and was wondering if I could get Mrs Diane Brain's contact details. I think that my GG grandad was the son of the founder but worked for a rival shipping company.

Thanks
