  • Notes 
    • Internet source suggests that he married Elizabeth Anna WATTS (1797-1885) in 1834 and died 1879, however this is clearly not definite.
      Also another child Caroline (1818-1909)

      1861 Census assumed to be a mistake

      At 1851 Census is Sarah Bennett a9, g'dtr, b Southampton. Cannot find a suitable match for this, though there is a Sarah d of Charles and Jane as a possibility - but not obvious how this is a grand-d.

      Note also in the 1851 Census is a William BENNETT who might be a brother. He appears again in 1871 census for James Potter. Info from my parents suggests that William may have married Joanna and they both lived in Sampford Courtney. There may also be another brother James who married Susanna, living in North Tawton.
