Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Friend/Bentley
« on: Monday 08 August 11 07:40 BST (UK) »
Hello is there any chance that someone could take a look at any records for a Thomas Friend born 1818 and Sarah Bentley born 1818. Thomas Friend's father was John. Sarah Bentley's father was James Bentley. I have their marriage certificate. They married on 12/11/1838 Parish Burslem County Stafford registration district Wolstanton and Burslem Union. They were both 20yrs old.
Thomas Friend was a potter and James Bentley was a potter. Residence at time of marriage was Hot Lane. I can't make out the occupation of John Friend?
I have a relative called Elizabeth Friend who married a James Bentley - London Gentleman. Their son John Bentley migrated to South Australia around 1851 and married a Johanna Shay from Kilkenny Ireland. They then moved to Katoomba NSW Australia and settled there for the rest of their lives (10 children). Their son John born 1869 was a police officer in SA and NSW with a calling Dentist. I have a inkling that he may have also been related to the Bentley family who migrated from London to SA on the ship called Cheapside in 1849. That James Bentley married Elizabeth Chatterton and stayed in SA until they died. They also had a son called John born 1820 who was a policeman in SA and a apprentice dentist in the 1841 England Census. He died in 1881 (same as my John). There are no records of him having died in SA. I have my John's death certificate died 1881 NSW. His father James Bentley's parents were John Bentley and Rosetta Friend. I feel there is a link somewhere? Any help appreciated!
