Title: Harry Bennett
Post by: Dannemois on Sunday 18 May 08 17:18 BST (UK)
This is one of those with very little info to go on but fingers crossed.  Seeking Harry Bennett, born Llantarnam monmouthshire.  died in flanders 1918 so with some luck he should be on the 1901C.  can someone help locate him.

That's brilliant, would it be too much to ask if you could find them on the 1881?

Many thanks

Hi Yonder

Just to say - the terms English/ Welsh refer to the language spoken.  Hence you will sometimes find "Both".

Nothing was usually entered for infants (since they don't say a lot in either language I guess!)

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
