Ok I have a William Bennett as son of Joseph Bennett here
https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... =477701408

now William Bennetts father is a Henry Bennett

on the 1891 census there is a Sylvia Bennett as mother b abt 1809 but the only marriage I can find is
BENNET Joseph ATTWOOD Silvia H 1838 Oldswinford, St Mary Dudley Register Office 003/001/97

Joseph Bennett born
24 Nov 1883 ...accord to 1939 census
so this fits.
.BENNETT, JOSEPH RICHARDS
GRO Reference: 1884 M Quarter in DUDLEY Volume 06C Page 1

then I looked up marriage at archives father for Joseph Bennett b 1883 is a William Bennett chainmaker

so the marriage for Mary Ann Richards and William bennett in 1880 looks good

Then on that 1880 marriage Williams father is a Henry Bennett
