I am researching the family of Elsie Bennett, born c1894 in Tottenham, Middlesex to Joseph Bennett and Elvina Bennett (nee Garrard). Elsie had a bother called Ernest Edward Garrard (my grandfather) born 1885...he was born out of wedlock, hence the surname difference. I would like to find details of her marriage and descendants if anyone can help.
Thanks
Roy

Ginny, actually I am not sure whether or not she got married, it was just an assumption. From what Jonesey has found out it looks to be quite likely!
