This looks to be 1861:-

Mother's Name: Mary Ann

Mary Ann Bennett 34 (1827) born: London

Sophia Bennett 3
John Bennett 1 (1860)

so there is a brother John but born 1860, not 1853?


Looks like same family in 1871:-

Frederic Bennett 19
Louisa Bennett 21
Jane Bennett 17
Sophia Bennett 13

As Mary Ann was born about 1828, I would suggest their marriage would be between 1845 and 1850 (birth of Louisa)

which leaves this one as a possible:-
Marriages Dec 1848 (>99%)

I wonder if this is worth considering:-

1861
Name: John Bennet
Age: 8
Estimated birth year: abt 1853
Relation: Son
Father's Name: John
Mother's Name: Mary Ann
Gender: Male
Where born: Islington

County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

John Bennet 8
Fredk Bennet 6
Arthur Bennet 5 Mo
Kate Bennet 10
Agnes Bennet 4
Louisa Grange 15

father is a Jewellers Shopman but he could have changed profession by 1879.
It would give a link with Frederick Bennett who was a Jeweller in 1901 census above?

Well I just can't find him prior to 1881......... I looked for a father John Bennett in 1881 with the occupation as a Stationer, didn't turn anything up there!!!

No Baptism record for him either....
