Edith C 9months born Poplar.

1891 Jemima 45 dressmaker Widow
Edith born Poplar
George 19
Mabel 11
Emma 9 could this be Emily?

1901 Islington D 26 > 46
Jemima widow age 55 Childrens costume maker

This looks like the parents of George Sydney Bennett 1872.

He joined the army on 2 occasions.
His first number was 3475 ,in year 1892 on first set of records it states his mum as Jemima Bennett of 16,Cannonbury? Road Islington

2nd set of records in 1914 he is a musician married to Lydia nee williams address 34,Hope street.
His number is 10742.

So the birth 1872 A/M/J west ham 4a 7 looks likely.

You need to get the wedding certificate for Fathers' names, then we can try and find him in censuses.

Hello, I am trying to find the birth place of my Grandfather George Sidney Bennett. All I know is at the time of the 1911 Census he was in the South Staffs Reg. at Whittington barracks with his wife Lydia (nee Williams) and family. On the census it gives is place of birth as London but thats all.
