Find Ancestors

Address is 11 Seward St on the 1861 census with 'Clara', and GB is right, it is clearly written as Clara on the form, so the enumerator must have misread his own notes.

Address in 1851 is 35, Nelson Street, Saint Luke, Finsbury.

So, Eliza Ann Lockett first married William Benjamin Bennett, later on... she married a William Barton. I think that's right. Bit confusing this!

So, William Benjamin Bennett married Eliza Ann Lockett. Eliza parents were: John Lockett/Sarah Collins. I hope this is correct.

Thanks Kucinta, you done very well finding this info, great!

IN 1891, Eliza A Barton, who married in 1874 as widowed Eliza Ann Bennett with father John Lockett, a hatter, in the marriage I posted earlier in the thread, also gives her birthplace as Lambeth, c 1828.

If so, son Edward is not listed with the family in census 1841.

EDIT - as Edward's middle initial is J, it could well still be the same family.

I can't read the full description of his occupation on the image, but it starts with 'hat' and he and Sarah are described as born in county (Surrey).

brummiejan: I have been doing research, sent off for Birth/Marriage C, census returns, etc...

On birth C of Margaret Bennett: mother Eliza Ann Bennett, formerly Lockett.

1861 is clear as Clara so the enumerator must have transferred the info wrong then

Graham, can I just ask you how you came by Margaret in the first place - is she your direct ancestor, and if so, do you have details of her marriage? Just wondering how you got to the information you have put above.
Jan

The Clara, I think is a spelling mistake, it is really: Eliza. Well I have the birth C, and her first name is not Clara.
