My G Grandfather was a Bennett, which lead me to your query. Then I noticed your married(?) name Bailey. My Mom was a Bailey and it was her Grandfather maternal side, that was the Bennett. Coincidence? I did a quick search for your Clara Fox. I did find one age 27 living as a servant in the 1901 census for Keynsham. She was born in Cardiff Wales. Do you know if your Grandfather had any siblings? Maybe Arthur? Did your Grandfather retain his birth name? What was his adopted name? Did he use his birth father's name on his marriage cert. or his adopted father's? You could check with the General Registrar's Office and ask for the death and marriage records, you can access the forms online. There is a small fee. All the best in your search.
