Hi, I hope somebody can help.

I need to confirm who Albert Bennett's B. 1868, father is. I do not know who his siblings were or his mother. I have found a census that could show him with his siblings and parents, but need to confirm this is the right family. The census is on findmypast.com, is there another search i can do to cross reference it?

Thanks, James
