Hi, I am trying to find any information on Arthur Bennett b. 1914 and his first wife Agnes Magadalene (coud possible be Madaline) Laight. I do not know her birth date or the date they were married. But I do know Arthur married his second wife in 1947.

Cheers, James

Hi Lindsay,

That family would fit, does it say any thing about Agnes's marriage?

Cheers, James

I don't know that it is right Agnes. Age is right but there were a lot of Bennetts around!

Hi Lindsay,

I dont know what happened to her. A death could be possible, please could you post the link?

Cheers, James

Death
Jul-Aug-Sep 1942
Bennett Agnes 37 Stoke 6b 167

Do those births that Liverbird pm'd you fit because that would preclude the death I have found

Stoke is in Derbyshire, maybe not right

James,

Do you have access to Ancestry?

Births and marriages are now transcribed up to 2005 but they are not on FreeBMD yet

Lindsay,

They would fit, but there was also marriage in 1934 between a K.Bennett and a Laight and I am thinking they are their children. Would like to know your thoughts.

Cheers, James

Hi James
Sorry, went to bed, now just about to get ready for work!
I think those births may be the 1934 marriage, births and marriage both same area.
Also I thought it a little odd that if they were your couples births that wife no1 was having children the year after he married wife no 2

Do you have the marriage cert. for second marriage. I think it should say if he was a widower

Wow you have an early start!

It says is first wife was a spinster.

Cheers, James
