    3. PS. Alfred John Bennett of Sandel Rd, New Malden, Surrey, 1861-1943, was originally a jeweller but changed his occupation to that of distillery traveller. Some in the art community consider he was the Alfred J Bennett, the water colour, oils and etching artist who features on Wikipedia, but the jury is still out on that. I have found no proof that my Alfred is one and the same. Anyone who is interested may go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_J._Bennett and check it out. The first part of the web is correct, with details of his marriage etc., but the second part re. Exhibitions, leaves me rather doubtful. Of course it would be pleasant to claim the artist as my own, but I really don't think so and one cannot claim that which does not belong. Any listers who are good at detective work might like to have a go at this mystery, but I have not found any proof so far. Best wishes Graham
