Thank you.  Appreciate your help.  I had another picture but still have not discovered how to post it.  For some stupid reason I cannot seem to get it into a suitable one to post.  It is of Mr & Mrs. Bennett Senior - i.e. Ella and her husband.  It is a very nice photo too so as soon as I get it in a sendable form will post it here.  Computers are great things but they do drive me crazy when they do not work ax expected!    Ha ha

Sorry,but think his cousin told me his birthdate.  Since he died in 1989 and was a few days short of his birthdate, think the 1913 date is correct??  It could be wrong tho.

Have heard of Rueben  Bennett but think it may be a different one.  The Rueben Bennett in this story was a rather well-known pl  ayer of Football as you call it.  In Canada it is called soccer.  They actually played in Canada but I found out too late to attend the game.  He is definitely related to Norman and was his uncle. - a sister to his Mom.

There were a number of children in this marriage = Rueben, Henry, Victoria and Isabelle - both came to Canada and Isabelle is still living, and Joey who died this year in Aberdeen in January.

I don not have the names of their children and not sure if they want to be added.  Will ask my cousin about that.  Thanks a lot for your interest.

Thank you so much.  Are you sure of the dates?  Maggie or Ella as she was called, had been an opera singer before her marriage.  Do you have anything else on her husband?  His grandson thought he had something to do with the docks but wasn't sure?

Live in Canada.

I tried to post you a whole page of his letter but unfortunately it was too large.  I thought if you could see more of his writing you might agree what it says.
