Just spoken with Keith and he does know you. I mentioned this forum and he has just had a look.

Keith just sent me some more pictures. Do you live in Stockport?

When I get home (woking at the minute) I will send some more pictures to you. I wont have chance tonight but one day this week.

Who did you know personally from the Bennetts? Did you know my mother or uncle Mick? (keiths brother and sister)

[taywal]

I don't know any Bennett's apart from Alfred's family.
Yes I'm in Stockport.
Looking forward to any pics

I have Bennett's in my tree who were from Welshpool, not far from Garthmyl/Berriew, and would be more than happy to swap info if you think there might be a connection.

Wow!! fantastic thread

I have only recently discovered my Bennett line and, as yet, don't have a lot of information.

I'm at work at the moment! but will post my bits of Bennett info later.

[Claret_Macca]

Yeah good thread.

I only typed Bennett Crosspipes and didnt really expect anything. Glad I did now.

The reunion was good and met up with people I havent seen in a while and some I havent met ever. There was 4 maybe 5 generations at the reunion.

I got lots of good pics and as mentioned my uncle has sent me a tree which is failry well researched and goes back to the 17th Century I think.

Think I am going to do something similar on my fathers side (who dont originate from Wales).

My mother used my username for the previous post. Probably didnt realise it was still logged in.

She is Gillian (was Bennett before marriage)

Glad I searched now - never expected to find anything at all so this has been a good surprise.
