I can't seem to find them before their marriage in 1872 no matter how hard I look and I just know there has to be something. (Both spellings Bennett & Bennet are used in the records I have) Henry Francis Bennet (b. c1850) and Eliza Hogg (b. c1847) were married in Manhattan, NY on 2nd April 1872, residence at the time is given as 285 Mott St, NY. Although I can't find them on the USA census returns for 1870. There is some confusion over Henry's place of birth. On 1881 UK census is Liverpool, UK, on 1891 UK census is Pine Bluff, Arkansas and on 1901 UK census is Co. Mayo, Ireland!!!! His parents according to his marriage cert (although difficult to decipher) are Robert Bennet and Susan McGuire/McGurer?) Eliza is always born in Liverpool, UK. Her parents (according to near illegible marriage cert) are John Hogg and Sarah McKal? Their eldest daughter, Isabella was born in America , (although confusion between NY and NJ) c1873 according to her age on the various census returns and on her marriage cert which I have a copy of. Their second child Louisa was born in Liverpool on the 22nd June 1874. The third child William was also born in Liverpool in 1876. Any info of the families in the USA (not sure when they arrived as yet) or a record of a birth for Isabella would be greatly appreciated. They must have travelled back to the UK between 1873 and June of 1874 but can't as yet find a record of this. thanks Lianne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
