Descendants of Edward Bennett


TreeIcon.png


The top of this tree is very confused. Some online trees show Edward Taylor Bennett at the top of this tree, born in Jersey, but there is no record of this and we believe that he was Edward Harvey Bennett, born in England and moved to Jersey before or after his marriage. Online trees show his wife as Elizabeth Hannaford (1812-1869), from Totnes, Devon, but there is also no record of this marriage in Jersey, or elsewhere. Furthermore, baptism records show the mother of Edward's children as Harriet, without indicating her family name, so it seems probable that he was not married to Elizabeth Hannaford at all. Although it is possible that there were two Edward Bennetts in Jersey at the same time, baptism records suggest that there was just one, Edward Harvey Bennett, and that his wife was Harriet Vincent

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.
