Hi, I'm trying to find information on a Thomas Bennett (c1847 ) born in Kensington and moved to Hull as a ship yard labourer. I believe he married a
Margaret.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Steve

Thomas Bennett possably married a Margaret Lindsey in Kensington before moving to Hull. They had 10 children including a Thomas Henry Bennett (1873) my GGrandad who married a Emily Danby in 1896.
Thanks for any help.
Regards
Steve
