Hi Paul, well me too! I have reason to believe that the Bennett line in our family were Gillingham, Kent. I posted on this board also. I too have hit a brick wall in this line. However, the names i have are Charlie (junior and senior) and Peter. The surnames connected with the female Bennetts are Osborne and Barnett. The female line progressed to Sussex. If you find any connection I will be pleased to hear. Regards, Beverley

Have you all found the Medway CityArk site? It has images, freely available, of the parish registers of lots of the churches in that area.

All of my Bennetts are from Gillingham and Chatham right back to 1800
