    Coming back to this topic with a question for which I’m sure there is a simple answer.
    I can view Arthur Henry Bennett’s actual parish register entry on FMP but will there be a marriage certificate available (as for UK marriages)? If so, from where would I obtain it?

    How did his employment with Whiteaways come about? Did he answer an ad in a British newspaper, and go to pre-arranged employment, or go on spec?

    Yes, I wondered about that. One clue is an advert in the Northampton Mercury of 18th June 1897, in which Frisby, Dyke & Co announce they are ‘retiring business’ (closing down!). Did AHB see the writing on the wall and hie himself off to pastures new?

    Thank you for the Thackers suggestion, I’ll try to follow it up.

    Sylvia, thank you very much for respoding to my post. The information about Whiteaway Laidlaw is very interesting and fits with AHB’s apparent movements. Having said that, I have searched for AHB on passenger lists (Ancestry & FMP) 1891 – 1895 without success.

    The search continues.

    Best wishes

    p.s. Small World coincidence. A biogrephy of Sir Robert Laidlaw states that he bought a house called The Warren, at Coney Hall Near Bromley. I spent the first nine years of my life living about 500 yards away (in a suburban semi!).
