Her mother was Elizabeth Hannah Bennett married to Selvanus Beddard in 1884 had Selvanus Jr 1884, Ellen Elizabeth (my G-Grandma) 1886 and Daniel 1892. Selvanus Jr died in 1890 and Selvanus Sr. followed in 1893. Elizabeth Hannah Beddard then married John Henry Denton in 1893 in Wolverhampton. Lily was born in Pelsall, Staffs in 1899. I cannot find any information on a Lily Denton born in this place two years prior and two years after. She appears on the 1901 census with John Henry Denton as the head, her mother Elizabeth Denton, her sister Elizabeth Denton and her brother Daniel Denton. They all came to Canada around 1902-1907. There are rumors that Elizabeth Hannah Bennett/Beddard/Denton adopted a child. If so, is this the child? My biggest question, what happened to her? No one remembers a little girl when the family settled in Nova Scotia for a short while. I can find a few death! certificates for Lily Denton that could match, but likely don't as the age of death is off. Where did Lily go? What kind of stuff can you find out on an adoption 110 years old? Jessica Ross
