Thank you very much for doing this, much appreciated! :)

Oh well, never mind. He was not a real Bennett he changed his surname for an unknown reason, but obviously his decendants are Bennett. One of his daughters married Cornforth.

That would be lovely, very kind of you :) I also have Bennett in my tree. You wouldn't have Henry (Niner/Bennett) 1838-1916?

Wow amazing thank you :)

Also not related to the wealthy ones! Legend has it that there was a disagreement and some brothers including my GGrandfather were cut out.

No I haven't seen it, but wouldn't want to put you to any trouble. I might have a look to see if it is on the grave site (can't just remember what it is called). I am in Northampton now, moved here in 1995 but go back to Brum to see family. Well pre Covid I did! Thank you :)

I really appreciate that. I have 74 Dartmouth Street on a census but I could not find the name of the pub!

Thank you very much!

That brilliant thank you, the map is great. Thank you for the information also :) Much appreciated!

Hi All, I am descended from one of the Cornforth brothers who owned various Iron works in Brum. I was looking for a photo of Dartmouth works and was given a photo which turned out to be Alcester Road. It is now the Iron Works gym and flats. Is anyone able to let me know if this also was...

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you Paul. She never spoke of it just the odd snippet. I have been reading up on this today. It must have been awful. She was definitely emotionally traumatised. In the last few days I have found the child but unfortunately the mother died in 2018.
