Biography

Have very little info on this man, except his photo which Norman sent. Do know he was the Harbour Master for Aberdeen, Scotland. From Norman: "I imagine my great grandfather William Bennett was born sometime in the 1850’s, he was also way up in the Mason’s, I do have a picture of him with all his regalia on, but don’t know exactly where." When this photo arrives will definitely post it. William is not really in Lauraine's family tree but related to one of my cousins Norman.

Note: Have found the following census which could be his father?? Born in St Nicholas Parish which is the one Victoria was married in??? According to this this man was born about 1831?? will try to check this out. AM WONDERING IF he could be William Bennett's father??

Found this chap in Family Search & he was married to Harriet Marshall Duncan Bennett. Am thinking her surname was Duncan & plan on putting her down as such. William was born about 1850. William Bennett ... ^[1]
