Johns Father was Henry Bennett and not Richard I am certain that this Richard Bennett is some kind of relation of Henry Bennett hence him moving from warrington to little Hulton.
Joseph Johns brother was my grandfather and a lot of this information was given by him.

This was posted earlier

Marriage: 3 Nov 1895 St Peter, Bolton, Lancashire, England
John Bennett - 21 years, Coal Miner, Bachelor, 140 Manchester Road West, Little Hulton
Margaret Jane Blue - (X), 19 years, Domestic Servant, Spinster, 5 Broom Street
    Groom's Father: Richard Bennett, Coal Miner
    Bride's Father: John Blue, (deceased), Labourer
    Witness: James Simmons; Sarah Ellen Hodgkiss
   

There is a John Bennett in 1891 3098/55
John Bennett 16 yrs b Little Hulton with parents Richard and Frances and siblings.
The address is 140 Manchester Road West, Little Hulton - the same as that marriage record.

John Bennett, 6 yrs is with those parents in 1881.

Does this help? Is the Bennett/Bone marriage the one you mean?

Now that it has been established that your John BENNETT did not marry Margaret BLUE and go to America, the aim is to find your John after 1881.  This takes us back to the original post - where was John in 1891.

You say that information was given to the family by his brother Joseph - did Joseph say that his brother went to America?

As far as I can see there are no John BENNETTS who say they were born in Warrington or Little Hulton that could be him.  Is there anywhere else that he might have thought he was born?

Is Joseph in the Warrington Industrial School in 1891?  His birthplace is given as Bolton.

Henry took John Willie with him to little Hulten bolton and this is where it gets foggy John willie emigrated to the U.S.A with his wife and children I have been in contact with a person in the U.S.A who is tracing the same Bennett line as me but she has John Willie with different parents in little Hulton, I think that when Henry left warrington with his son they went to Bennett relatives in little Hulton and John willie was left with them as Henry got married again.
I have traced John willie and his family leaving the uk also he came back to the uk in 1913 to try and find his brother and sister but failed and returned to the U.S.A. The original date of his emigration was 1905

With regard to the emigration records, I can see Margaret and children in 1906 going to her husband in W V

Here is the 1913 record for John, apparently returning to WV.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JNPT-NML

The family had arrived 8th February.

It may be that the US person is researching this family (with father Richard) and their John is not yours.
Do you have a DNA connection to them?
