Hi,
Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to determine the death dates of my great, great grandparents Joseph and Johanna Bennett (Nee. Begley/Bedley).
I know very little about them, as my Great grandfather Joseph Alexander Bennett relocated to Liverpool after WW1. They are on the 1901 Wales census, mistranscribed under the surname 'Bonett':
Class: RG13; Piece: 5073; Folio: 101; Page: 40
and 1891 as Bennett:
Class: RG12; Piece: 4474; Folio 23; Page 39
Joseph was born in 1864/5, and Johanna was born between 1866-9. Both were Irish, so have not been able to locate their birth certs yet, although there's a chance they might just appear, as they were born just after the Civil Registration began in Ireland.
Whilst it's only an assumption (Could be wrong), I'm assuming they remained in Swansea (within the Pontardawe area it seems), where they settled on arriving in Wales. This is where I've been concentrating my search for their entries in the Death Indices..with little success!!!! I have considered that they may have returned to Ireland, but this seems unlikely, as surely this wouls have been recalled within the family at some point???
EDIT: Actually, going from their 1886 marriage certificate, it gives their ages (His an hers respectively) as 22 and 18. Possibly more accurate perhaps??
Any help would be appreciated, However small, given my lack of progress!!!
Cheers
Paul
