Hello
Hoping for some assistance in deciphering the handwriting on this Marriage Certificate please.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1925/09143/5306739.pdf
Seems 2 sisters, Mary Bennett and Elizabeth Bennett married on same day 14 April 1925.
Seems Mary married John BRYAN? Do you agree with his profession being Clerk, residence Sovereign St, Clonakilty, father is John Bryan, a shopkeeper?
For Mary, residence is Kilgarriff, Clonakilty, father Thomas Bennett?, farmer.
For Elizabeth, she married William ? (civil records has as DANICY), profession farmer, residence?, father John ?, farmer.
Elizabeth, residence Kilgarriff, Clonakilty, father Thomas Bennett?, farmer.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

While some of this information may not be complete or totally accurate, I will go with this info until it is proved incorrect and I invite others who may have better information to update it.
With the assistance of this site and Sinann in particular, I now have far more information about my Irish roots that I had thought possible. I am very grateful for all the assistance provided.
It had been my wish to discover information that would allow me to connect with present day Bennett relatives in Clonakilty as my wife and I will be visiting there later this year.
Unfortunately, this info shows that there is no present day paternal Bennett relatives in Clonakilty. I am saddened by this.
Pending other sons of Robert & Esther's being discovered, Thomas was their only son to remain in Ireland. He had only 1 son, Robert, who emigrated to Canada where he married Elizabeth Conway in 1918. They had a daughter, Kathleen Lenore Bennett (1920 - 2006). Robert died in 1964 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I will continue searching for info on Robert & Esther's grandchildren and see where that takes me.
I greatly appreciate all assistance provided.

The other witness at Susanna's marriage is Robert Deane, most likely her sister Hester's husband, so looks like another daughter for Robert and Esther.
This is fantastic work! I am thrilled to bits to have uncovered all this information. Thank you everyone who has contributed, in particular Sinann.
I will post an update on the info I have so far in the next couple of days.
The other people I'm still looking for info on is James Bennett and Francis Bennett. James is listed in Griffiths Valuation, Parish of Kilgarriff, against map reference 10 (Robert Bennett against map reference 9) so perhaps brothers? Francis Bennett is mentioned in Abraham Bennett's will (link provided by Sinann). In his will Abraham mentions Robert as his cousin and Abraham is listed against map references 15 & 16 in Griffiths, Parish of Kilgarriff. With Abraham and Robert being cousins, their fathers were brothers with same grandfather. Any info greatly appreciated.

Wow, you have been busy, thanks so much. We are going out shortly so won't get a chance to look thru all this properly till later. Looks good tho.
Could you also search for info on James Bennett please, have seen his name mentioned, could be another brother.
Many thanks.

Thank you for the info. Noticed Robert born 1891 had a twin sister, Martha, born same day. I think this Martha is the 11 yo Martha in the 1901 Census listed as grand daughter as no Martha appears in Bennett household for same year. Interesting.
Also, witness at both of Thomas Bennett marriage's is Thomas Nagle, Thomas' brother in law!
Do death records like that for Martha Bennett January 1891 exist for Robert Bennett, death Clonakilty 1890 and for Esther/Hester Bennett around 1905?
Many thanks again for your assistance. This is all great progress.

Thanks very much. The link to Abraham Bennett's will and codicil provides further information that I did not previously have, e.g., Abraham had a brother Thomas, a cousin Robert, daughters Eliza and Anne (Buttomer) and son John. His wife is mentioned in the codicil but no name mentioned. All this info adds pieces to the puzzle.
Yes, I already found the census records for Thomas and Mary Clarke (appears as Clerke in some family trees on Ancestry.com)
Thank you so much for their marriage record. I have been looking for that record for sometime without success, so it is great to now have it particularly with the confirming info of Robert as his father. That record lists Thomas as a widower, I had noticed that he was abt 41 when he married Mary Clarke so that explains that as this is his second marriage. With your superior search skills, could I ask would you mind searching for Thomas' earlier marriage?
Thank you for all your assistance.
I will shortly post the info I have to date on Robert and Esther's family.

OK, thanks, makes sense now.
Robert Bennett does appear in Griffith's Valuation, and there is a location for that farm. I presume that could be located today?
From my further searches and the info presently available, I'm thinking that Thomas is the eldest son and has continued to work the farm with Robert and then takes over the farm. Hester/Esther, his mother, continues to live with Thomas and family as per 1901 Census.
Also thinking there is little prospect locally at that time for John and Samuel, Robert's other sons, so they emigrate to Australia. But speculation on my part as not confirmed that Thomas in 1901 and 1911 Census is son of Robert and Esther. This is the info that I continue to seek!

Thanks, I was afraid that might be the case. I'll continue searching.
Could you clarify something for me, looking in the 1901 & 1911 Ireland Census records for family of Thomas Bennett, in the 1901 record it shows address of House 10, Kilgarriffe, Clonakilty etc while in 1911 Census, address is House 12, Kilgarriffe, Clonakilty etc for same family.
Would it be the same house renumbered for some reason or did the family move houses?
And, what would the chance of finding this house/location today?
Thanks.
