hi again had not finished message .....as i was saying JACOB BENNETT is listed as  being born in HOPE DERBY 1845 in  1881  census married to louisa, have found JOHN  AND MARY BENNETT ON THE IGI as having more children all baptised in TAXAL CHESHIRE .They are JACOB 1844,HANNAH 1841,ARTHUR 1839,JOHN 1836,ALLAN CAMERON 1835,ELIZABETH 1832,MARY 1823 MARIA 1830,ELIZA 1834.i have also found in PIGOTS 1835 a JOHN BENNETT publican BOARD INN HORRIDGE END  which was later horwich end.I Have found  a BOARD INN IN WHALEY BRIDGE CHAPEL ROAD   but am unsure if  it is the same inn my ancestors ran,also i think at that time whaley bridge was in cheshire but am a bit confused.was hoping that JOHN AND MARY BENNETT would be on earlier census could you maybe look in 1861/71? would be most grateful as i am really stuck on this one!thank you anna

Hi anna

Have you looked at the Taxal burials which are online. There are several Bennett's including a John Bennett who was buried 18 Jan 1848 aged 50. His address was Horwich.  Could this be your John?  www.disley.net/taxal-burials/taxal-burials.html
or if you go into google and type in Taxal.
I have only got the 1851 census index of Derbyshire so cannot help you with the 1861/71.  The index covers the area of Fernilee but not Taxal which must come into Cheshire.  Maybe Mary and the rest of the family were in the Taxal census for 1851.

Hope this helps

Have fun
