George Bennett Head 26 Miner
Mary Bennett wife 30 Nailer
Ellen Bennett dau 11
Sophia Bennett dau 2

George Bennett Head 40 Coal Miner
Mary Ann Bennett wife 49
George Bennett son 14 Coal Miner

All born Netherton Worcs.

1881 Census 28 Charlotte Street Dudley Worcs.
George Bennett Head 52 Limestone Miner
Mary A. Bennett wife 62
Both born Netherton Worcs.

Can anyone find on 1861 Census and marriage of George to Mary Ann ?
as this would help resolve fact that ages vary considerably

Can't see 1861..but there is this marriage:
1843 St. Mary, Kingswinford.
George BENNETT/Mary A. BURGESS
DRO: 213/001/313.

Might be a little early for George???

Thanks Sparkstopper
George would have been 17/18 so could be right one

?? Theres this...
1861.138, Primrose Hill, Dudley
George Bennett, head, 39, Coal Miner
Mary, wife, 47,
Leah? daur, 17,
Lucy, daur, 12,
George, son, 5,
James, son, 3
All born Dudley

This could be 1841..
