Yep, some more 3's and again it's all good.
I managed to track down my entry in the 19th Edition of Burke's Landed Gentry Volumes III and IV. It's not a huge entry, but then again it isn't insignificant either as there are only 7 Bennett's listed. I have partially read the entry on-line, but I managed to obtain a copy of Volumes III and IV and was able to peruse at leisure. I will add the full listing details to my Biography page on this Blog.
I also managed to track down a photograph of my father when he was serving with the Auxiliary Fire Service in 1940 in Swansea during the Second World War. The family oral history is that dad served with the AFS, but I have yet to acquire any physical evidence.
Sidney Allen Douglas Bennett had volunteered for the infantry and was based in France on the outbreak of War. Unfortunately Sid Bennett fell ill with Scarlet Fever and was given a Medical Discharge from the Army. However, determined to do his bit 'for King and Country' Sidney Bennett joined the AFS in Swansea. It was great being able to track the image down in a book that I read at the National Library of Wales earlier today.
The third thing is that the lovely Mr Tister is back home for upwards of 12 nights.
