Groom either Thomas Burgess or Thomas Duncan.

The groom is in the title of the topic (William Henry S Bennett)  :)

The 1911 census has them married for 6 years, so I am guessing that is where c1905 comes in.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

Curious as the marriage given by Welshjo seems to fit.  Although the first born in 1911 census has Mmn Jones. Cannot locate marriage for couple William/Rebecca before 1911 or death of Lucy Bennett, nee Richards.

Family in 1881 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27X-DTJL father is a ships carpenter

There is a possible marriage that would fit, but you would need the cert/s to prove/disprove.  Your couple are still together in 1939 register.

Marriages Sep Q 1923   
Bennett    William H    married Duncan  Swansea    11a   2417    
Duncan    Rebecca    married Bennett  Swansea    11a   2417    

Marriages Jun Q 1904    Swansea    11a   1533   
Thomas Duncan & Rebecca Jones on same page

Cannot locate any children for 1904 marriage, only looked to when W H Bennett Jnr born.

Likely 1901 Jones family https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSM6-BYL
