That's why I didn't bother posting them, Mel -- because they didn't match. ;) |

This is the Harry who married Adelaide Beatrice -- he had a middle initial (probably Cooper, looking at the deaths in WA), so it looks like not him: |

I just looked through a list of 87 search results for the name Henry Bennett for WWII records at the National Archives of Australia and didn't find one who matched his name or year of birth. There were no matching records for the name Harry Bennett either. |

So, Henry was born long before 1911 so his mother's surname doesn't show on the birth record anyway. |

Dear Janey,Thank you so much,everything is correct.You,re so clever it would have taken me ages to find all that.The first was Grandfather Second G.mother third was Uncle Harry ,Both were called Harry rather than Henry. I only heard about him yesterday.it was a Longshot that came off.All I have to do now is find out which Gold mine he died in and if he had family over there.Once again Thank you. Have a very Happy Christmas and even better New Year. Hal.aka **Merlin**.xx. |

Yup. Four Harry Bennett-s born in Wolverhampton 1916-1923 would all be possibles -- or he could have been older (I suspect he was, from a little digging), or really named Henry or Harold -- if you give his mother's surname, Merlin, we can identify his birth exactly and that is what's needed to start wtih. |
