Don't think that the Leonard on that passenger list is yours. He and his brothers were all born Wales.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Looks like there was another son who possibly died as a baby

GRO Reference: 1914 D Quarter in NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE Volume 10B Page 193


Deaths Mar 1915

Leonard Bennett born 1908 Newcastle Upon Tyne (Northumberland) and Charles Henry Bennett born 1903 Gateshead Durham.

1911 Census shows them living at 28 Claremont Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne.

I'm trying to establish if either of them married and had children/grandchildren. Not had much success so far. Found a possible marriage for Leonard to Phyllis Hardy but tuned out not to be him.

Any help will be much appreciated.
