Hello
I'm looking up a family tree for a friend of a friend.It's her father in law we're after for her daughter who can't remember her father and who is now out of touch with her late husbands family.
I've hit a bit of a snag with father in law George Charles Bennett born 26.2.1910 who married Abbots Langley Dec 1933 to Doris May Atkins .He is supposed to have two brothers and be from the East End of London.
His father is listed as George Bennett cork helmut maker on the marriage cert.
witnesses the married couple Frank and Pyhllis Visick nee Blackburn.
Which after spending £ 11 of her money gets me nowhere.
I have no George Charles Bennetts born in Mar or June qtr 1910 that fit the birthdate and father George(the one in Chester has a different DOB).
So I looked at George Bennetts and managed to whittle it down to 2
George Bennett June 1910 Dewsbury s of George Arthur Bennett and Annie Crawthorne miner-2 brothers
George Bennett June 1910 Wisbech s of George Robert Bennett and Edith Anne Horspool baker.No brothers
I'd like to go for the first ,there is a military record which gives the DOB for his 3 sons.George 's is a bit difficult to read and could be either the 20th or 26th.
But that does seem to fit better than the other one.But Dad as far as I know was never a cork helmet maker.
And George Arthur Bennett changes his date of birth 1885-1890 and helpfully marries Annie at the Registry office in Batley in 1908.So no help with his parents.
Help please!

Or does the census form show 13 months?

I have not found one ???
EDIT
Albert's occupation is a Printer, age 22 and his father named Benjamin William West
1901 census RG13; Piece: 299; Folio: 160; Page: 51
has an Albert 23 occ Printer s (single) living with his parents Benjamin & Susan West plus siblings
Albert Charles West Baptism 4 Nov 1877 Bethnal Green St James the Great, Tower Hamlets
Father: Benjamin William West, cabinet maker Mother: Susan
There is a public tree on anc*y
Newspaper cutting Candadian Great War Project
picture Albert Charles West he came to Toronto 17 years ago from London,
mentions he has a wife & two little boys
Parents named as Benjamin William West & Susan Buckner
Picture of Elizabeth Thompson b1877 father William George Thompson & Hannah
picture of May Elizabeth Francis West born 28th April 1898 London died 16th Sept 1976 Ipswich
some other info. from another document
Albert Charles West dob 9th Oct 1977 London
enlisted Sept 28th, 1914 at Valcartier, Quebec
his occupation Printer
Married, next of kin wife Annie, Fairbank, Ontario
So it looks as if Albert has separated from Elizabeth Jane West nee Thompson at some point -
have not located Elizabeth West nee Thompson or May West b1898 on 1901 census

Hi
BRilliant !!!!
What a great job.
I'd never have got that.
Lots of stuff to go on there.
Now what is the mystery with George Price Bennett ?
I'll have a dig and get back to to you if I find anything.
Thanks for saving me!

Hiya
George Price Bennett born Lambeth started out life as a Price born Lambeth Mar 1866 son of Ooliver and Eliza Price helmet maker.
George married as Price to a Eliza Russell in 1889 at Walworth and appears with her on the 1891 census at Drury Lane
George 25 helemt maker Lambeth
Eliza 27 gen servant Marylebone.
Eliza seems to disappears after that.Can't see them on the 1901 and no children.
