From this, probably found Herbert in 1891 census (birthplace and year the same), living at The Green, Cheddington, Leighton Buzzard with parents Joseph Bennett aged 38 (Railway Signalman) - Emma Bennett aged 43 and sister Annie aged 6. Albert and Joseph are brothers. On 1861 census, both living at Garford, Berkshire with parents Thomas (aged 43) and Elizabeth (44) plus sisters Alice (8) and Anne (1)
