The birth certificate for any of those children would give their mother's full name.

Have you looked for the births at FreeBMD?

Hiya guys, i am unsure as to weather he remarried or not

Trevor, nobody's sure, and you aren't going to have anything come up as "definite" without definite evidence: which is found only in certificates.

You have to do something like order the birth certificate for that Isaac and see whether the father's info on it matches your John Bennett. If not, it's back to the drawing board. It's what we all have to do!
