Thank you Maid Marian Then she is definitely Mary's daughter out of wedlock Joanna

Maid Marian The difficulty is that if she is William and Mary Bennett's granddaughter there children were born 1849 son, 1850 daughter, 1852 daughter and 1853 daughter if she is described as 8 years old thus born approx 1863 whomever is her parents must of been very young dont you think? Did they have children at approx 13 years old?? Otherwise suppose possible Martha Hicks, took StepDad surname Bennett and she is the daughter of Martha born approx 1840. What do you think please?

1871 census She is the grandaughter Name: Clara Bennett Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1863 Relation: Granddaughter Gender: Female Where born: London, England Civil parish: Great Rollright Ecclesiastical parish: Great Rollright Town: Great Rollright County/Island: Oxfordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Chipping Norton Sub-registration district: Chipping Norton ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 21 Household Members: Name Age Clara Bennett 8 Mary Bennett 54 William Bennett 51

Could William have been married before and had an older child? Anything is possible, praps u could try and find some who is a direct descendant of Clara´s

Maid Marian I have found someone who is a direct descendant of Clara and they no nothing about her either, unfortunately, so between us we are trying to piece together bits of info Thanks Joanna
