Hi Gales,
I think that some of the story has become confused.
Ethel May born 1894 and Thomas H, born 1896 both born USA were the children of Henry Bennett
The son of John Bennett.
See 1901 census for Hasland, where you will see them listed.. in this census the wife of Henry is an
Elizabeth.
There is a child born 1898 William A, and Mary E aged 4 months so born Dec 1900, both registered in Chesterfield per freeBMD. The maiden name of the mother of both these children is Renwick
However I cannot find a marriage for them in England.
It is quite possible that Henry married just prior to leaving for America, there is a Henry getting married 1888 Chesterfield to either a Betsy or a Mary Eliza, who then died in America.
You say you have the obituary, can you give details as to which newspaper it appears?
