sorry mention to mention...doris went on to marry joseph rodgers who became nanas stepdad but nana left to live with emily and harry.

hi Guys thank again. Yes Samuel Bennett married Emily Phipps. so Doris and Emily and mother and daughter. Mum always mention mama rodgers and nana used to tell me that she lived with grandma smith so now that all makes sense. Thank you. It is so hard to find info. any suggestions on where on the net to look as I can't just pop over to england lol sadly lol. I'm still yet to discover who nanas actual father was. He is not listed on her birth certificate. Doris was not allowed to marry him so therefore nana was born out of wedlock and never knew of her father....not sure if he even knew ab

Thank you for the welcome guys. Yes David is very correct however i believe lucy lived with them as her husband passed. Not sure exactly why she lived there. Will chase lucy up a bit more i think. As for dorris yes possibly her however i have come across a few dorris bennetts. I will check the tree. Nana wasnt sure of her exact year of birth but if she was 8yrs old (cant remember her age on the census) then her birth would be correct also. I will check it out. I have the census thing saved on the computer somewhere (I'd given up hope) am on my phone atm. Thank you guys for ur help. So very muc

Just for extra info...my nana's mother was Doris Bennett. (unmarried).

awesome thank you so very much Cliff

HI there, In January my nana passed away. we have long known most of her details except who her father was as she didn't know either. I sent away last month for a copy of her birth certificate and it arrived today. alas there was no father on it. It did however have the address of her mum living and giving birth at 25 arthur street netherfield. I was googling the address and well...hmmm I am. no closer to the history of that address and no closer to finding her father. As I am in Australia I do not know how to find out what was at the address in 1922. Appreciate any help please...and thank
