Hi Everybody, I'm taking the hint and once again posting my interests. I really need 1891 (or post-1881 Census) information about my grandmothers's family in Preston. In 1881 the family consisted of the following : Thomas BENNETT (Head) (47) Jeweller & watchmaker Margaret BENNETT (nee BAMBER) (Wife) (48) Elizabeth Ann BENNETT (Dau) (22) William Richard BENNETT (Son) (16) Clara BENNETT (Dau) (12) Florence BENNETT (Dau) (8) (My grandmother) They lived at 21 Lune Street Preston and were all born in Preston. I know 21 Lune Street no longer exists (it was one of the houses demolished to make way for the ring road) but the family had lived there since Thomas and Margaret's marriage in 1855. There was also another daughter, Annie, who was away at boarding school at the time of the Census. My grandmother Florence, whom I never met as she died before I was born, married and had her first son in 1896. I wonder if some extremely kind person who has access to the 1891 Census would be able to find out something about the BENNETT family at that time. I have tried several avenues to get information on all the children but with little success. I believe (with no proof as yet) Elizabeth Ann married a Henry Baker of Liverpool and that Annie married a Henry Ingham of Preston who was a solicitor (though, as yet, no proof of that either). I know for definite fact that Clara remained a spinster, but know nothing at all of William Richard. This is a family I am now really trying to get to grips with. If any of this rings a bell with someone, I would be very grateful indeed to have the information. I have 1851 and 1861 Census information that has been a great help but the family remains fairly mysterious in later times. I had a letter this morning from some very kind people in Australia who had been to their local LDS Centre and found the reference pages for Lune Street on the 1891 Census but couldn't find any Bennetts. The pages were very difficult to read but the references were : RG12/3441 En. no 12 RG12/3442 En. no 16,17 RG12/3446 En. no 4 This is, of course, just in case anyone should be looking.....! :) It isn't easy for me to get to the nearest LDS Centre, and that's why I'd be so grateful for any help. Surely there must be someone still living who has some distant connection with the family? My grandmother's marriage took her to Cheshire and that is where the rest of my family is. After she died there appeared to be little further contact with the Bennett family in Preston. Sorry about the length of this letter. It probably falls into the "boring" category. But it means a lot to me! Pam New Zealand
