I’ve hit a brick wall and hope someone out there can help me. I can only find one birth between a William Henry Hermitage and a Margaret Wendy Bennetto but I’m told they had several children. Anyone any ideas?
-
when and where was the birth that you did find?
Different eras & geographical areas will have different resources
-
1945 in Newton Abbott but the family settled in Rosskeen Scotland by the looks of things

Did you use scotland's people to search for births?

No only because I’ve no idea if they were born in Scotland. I’ve received a photo today of them with 5 young children in the photo. No idea what year it was taken though.

Godo luck with your search
