This looks like them in 1841:

Church Street Hearn's Yard, Chesham
BENNING, John M 35 1806 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Hannah F 30 1811 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Daniel M 9 1832 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Sophia F 7 1834 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Mary F 4 1837 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, George M 1 1840 Buckinghamshire

John's down as a labourer, and Hannah as a Plaitter.

I'll see if I can find a marriage

Same image as John in 1841:

BENNING, William M 62 1779 Buckinghamshire BENNING, William M 22 1819 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Joseph M 20 1821 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Richard M 14 1827 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Dorcas F 53 1788 Buckinghamshire BENNING, Mary F 20 1821 Buckinghamshire
BENNING, Elizabeth F 10 1831 Buckinghamshire

Can be a good idea to check the house close to where a known relative lives - sometimes you can strike gold!

MG's right, its addictive!

I'm still experimenting with the best way to store/ present my research, there's always a backlog!
Even though I'm probably a bit of a techno geek, like the security of using more than one media!

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
