The Bennett Family Tree

The Bennett family has been traced back to George Bennett, who was born in about 1772 in Brightwalton (formerly called Brightwaltham) in Berkshire. George married Hannah Crips in 1796. Their family tree can be seen here (you will need to use the 'back' button in your browser to return to this page).

Their son William was born in 1805 in Brightwalton. William's first wife was Lucy Church, who died in 1836. William married again in 1844. The register entry shows that his wife, Harriet Elliott nee Spindloe or Spindelow, had also been previously married but widowed. 

William and Harriet had a son, Charles. Charles was born on 15 June 1844, also in Brightwalton. Charles was my great grandfather. He married Sarah Deedman in Aldershot, Hampshire, in 1870. Charles and Sarah lived in Ash, Surrey, where all their children were born. One of their children, my grandfather Alfred Bennett, settled in Aldershot. Charles died on 22 May 1900 and is buried in Ash.
