There are a few newspaper snippets which mention Henry Bennett, Warrington in 1880s.

1888
Henry Bennett, and William Dennett were summoned for neglecting to pay towards the maintenance of their children, who are under industrial …
18 August 1888 - Warrington Examiner

Others are under the headline ‘Police Intelligence’.

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.

He had left his wife behind in England at 300 Manchester Rd and 'no address' in the USA, but by 1921 they were together again at Little Hulton with sons William and Fred.

It may be that the US person is researching this family (with father Richard) and their John is not yours.

The John we are looking for had siblings Joseph and Ellen and was the son of Henry.

Joseph and Ellen have been found and we know that it is John William we are searching for. We have tried to show that the migration records are a different family.
Rayben wrote earlier

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

This seems to be wrong.

I see on what I presume is your online tree that you have Emmas death as 1918 and that she left a will.  Have you noticed that the probate index has that Emma as a widow.
