Not seeing an Enoch Bentley birth in Leics around the right time.

If this is all the same person his DOB does alter over the period of the census noted by about 4 years, but that wouldn't be unusual

1881 - Enoch Bentley age 17 (1864) b St Ma?, Leicestershire

Boy 2nd Class on HMS Implacable at Stoke Dameral, Devenport

Thanks for your help - I have stored ALL the info, but not sure as yet if Enoch & Charles really are one & the same.......

I have found an Enoch Bentley married to Annie Fowkes
also a
Charles Bentley married to either Ann Smith or a Sarah ANN Coulson or a SusANNA Booth or a Hannah Vernon.....all could call themselves Annie.

It is still possible that brothers Enoch & Charles both lived at different addresses in Pasture Lane Leicester. and may have similar childrens names?

Is it possible to check who was living at 31 in 1901?
and who was living at 34 in 1911

The relationship is Enoch - Head, Annie Wife and the others are children

Maybe he preferred Enoch!

The marriage has his name as Charles, if he's the one who married Ann Smith

Edit: I think PP has the correct marriage?
