Please take time to evaluate the info - it isn't something you can do in five minutes ;-) ;-)

Look at every bit of info provided and endeavour to put it in context - not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but drawing up a chart would probably help you to get it all clear

Yes Thank you I'd like it to match up but don't think it is doing that address you have just found they were in it in 1848 and 1853 ?? yet you have a different person living there , As I said I was willing to let it go as they aren't that close but as their was more info I thought I'd check
A lot of ifs and buts that don't add up

Thank you for your help

Coming back to this again - seems a shame for Mary's sterling efforts not to be fully exploited

Robert Bennett's father was Matthias - a Millwright, who died in 1835 - leaving a widow, Sarah.

Marriage date 05 Feb 1799
Marriage place Dronfield, Dronfield, Derbyshire, England

Were Matthias and Caroline's father Henry (both Millwrights) brothers? Trades tended to 'run' in families.

That would have made Robert and Caroline first cousins - and would explain, perhaps, why Robert and his wife took in Henry jnr

Address given for both David and Caroline when they married in 1849 was Mackworth Street

Mother of David Clives was Margaret .
She died in Stockport Cheshire in 1852 age 52 burried 2/9/1852 in lancashire.

Maybe the C Bennett born Birkenhead Cheshire @ 1852/3 who was with Robert Bennett was actually Caroline Alice Clives 1853-1875 no sign of her in 1871 census.

There would probably be info on death record of David and Caroline 's son Benjamin Clives born 1850 died 1856,i.e who registered his death and who buried him in Chorlton in Medlock Lancashire.

I have tried to connect Robert Bennett and Henry Bennett together but as yet nothing.
