Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 96 Send Message	I now think Agnes Laight and Arthur Bennett were married in 1940 and divorceed some when before 1947. I know the census hasn't been released but can anybody find out if they had any children? Cheers, James

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 899 Send Message	So probably he was divorced from her rather than widowed, though someone else may have a better idea than I . I don't think I can shed any more light for you Lindsay

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 96 Send Message	Hi Lindsay, It doesn't say he was a widower, it just says formerly married to and gives her full name and underneath her name says Spinster. Cheers, James

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 899 Send Message	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

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 96 Send Message	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
