Here is her baptism record: their address is St Katherines Road

Her parents were John Bennett 1862 Kensington bricklayer and Sarah Rayner 1866 - here is her mothers birth record

I have tried to find them on here before but had no luck but NEW INFORMATION HAS COME TO LIGHT WITH ME FINDING OUT ABOUT MARTHA.

BUT - I still cannot find any of them in 1891 an 1901 - they are not with her parents but their son is staying with the Rayner grandparents (in 1891 only - cannot find him in 1901) but not daughter Martha........where are they during this time??? Martha is a less common name so I thought someone could help me with my new lead!!!

Can't see her in 1901, but this might be her and brother in 1911. This is the index, you will need to buy credits to view the transcription.

thanks Andy, its so frustrating - I was convinced they hadnt gone anywhere and the 1911 information backs it up, just think Bennett must have been really badly transcribed in 1901!
