bennett family flint
« on: Tuesday 25 October 05 11:33 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace my great grand father's family Bennett, who were a Flint family, particularly John Bennett [born in 1848 ish] who marrried Keziah Wilson[ born in holywell] in 1869.  I am told he was a sailor and sailed many a ship from Flint. Can anyone help me in my quest for information about the family and the ships he sailed?

Hi andras,
Could you please tell me exactly what kind of info are you looking for, do you have John, Keziah and their Children's Baptisms? John & Keziah's Marriage is on North Wales BMD
Reference No HOL/08/E7.
If you let me know what you want it saves me looking for things you already have.


Paul.

hi paul
thanks again for coming to me .
I am trying to establish john's father and his family.
It states on the marriage cert. between john and kezia wilson in 1869 who came from holywell ,that john's  father was a joseph bennett who came from wepre flint. On looking at the 1861 cenus there is no sign of joseph .I  know that the family sailed many a ship from the dee .this is something else i would like to find out more about .
The last thing that has puzzled me ,was when did john bennett died .

many thanks
andras

Andras,
I know from experience that there are/were many Bennett families from Wepre (Connah's Quay as it is now).

My Bennett connection is Benjamin Bennett who owned the New Inn in CQ between approx 1850 and 1875, he was born in 1810.

When searching for Bennett's in CQ, treat them as you would Jones' in other areas - i.e. be very specific on dates, names and occupations.

Andras

I don't know if there were any others in the grave with John and Kezia as no plot number was given in the register.
I searched for the other names you mentioned without success.

Good luck
Peter
