That 1911 census that has been posted has Emily, James and Gladys as ages 6, 4 and 3, but years of birth of 1895, 1897 and 1898.
As tomster is aware of her second marriage, perhaps he can comment on the births.
Initially I was looking for them as children of a first marriage of George.

Hi,

Just to add to Rosie's find of the 1904 Marriage,
Jeanette is listed as age 32, spinster, not widow  ??? parents Frederick Bennett and Jeanette Richards.

Cheers,
DB

Just looking at this marriage again something not right as this Jeanette's father is Frederick Bennett
 ??? ..So this marriage has the children of John Bennett and Jessie in the 1911 census now Fisher  ???

Added: Oops, sorry Tom, we forgot......Welcome to rootschat :)

A public tree on ancestry has this marriage, and both from Tunbridge Wells (possibly)

  20 Aug 1888  Parish:   St Luke, Westbourne Park     Westminster
Father Name:   George Bennett    Spouse Father:   Henry Fald

Added: Possibly this is tomster's tree.

Added:  It is Field on the original

ADDED;
Totally wrong marriage, family still there in 1901 etc etc.

This is proposed as Herbert's death, as he has moved to America:

Herbert Bennett b 9 Jul 1890 d 26 Feb 1945     Los Angeles
His mother's maiden name was Richardson

Whilst this is his application for naturalisation in Los Angeles, stating he was married in August 19th, 1919:
Herbert Bennett Age:   45 b 9 Jul 1890 Leeds, England
He arrived in US in 1922, wife's name was Laura 

Birth July 1890 in Leeds - nothing showing?

Just noticed this has been moved from Beginners to Canada Board.

As a lot of the family end up in America, and evidence from there, why move it?

I appreciate that the initial request was to find his death, but to try to find the wedding of parents, birth of children and all the other related information, it is not specific to Canada.

Just an opinion/query.

I requested that it be put on the Canada board only in response to a suggestion by another poster. Since I am new here, I don't know where the best place to post it would be. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom

No problem, just wondered why the move as your family travelled around.

Glad you have managed to find your way back.

Do you think Herbert was born Leeds, or was that just what he thought but got wrong (Have you found any evidence of the family in Leeds?)

Similarly any sighting of a Bennett/Richardson marriage?

If she claimed she was a spinster when she married Mr Fisher, was she a very good liar, or just totally deluded?  Or had she mis-understood the question, and substituted her and her ex-husband's details for her parents?  Or is her real father Frederick?

Also, Richards or Richardson?
