I am beginning my Bennallack search. I have John Bennallack (parents Richard and Anna) married to Jane Searle (parents Matthew and Jane) in 1856. They had two daughters (born in St. Austell) and then Jane died (in 1858). First daughter is Elizabeth Emma (my great-great-grandmother, b. approx 1857) and second daughter is Hannah Jane (b. approx 1858). After their mothers' death they went to live with relatives for a short time.
In 1871 census, Elizabeth and Hannah are back living with their father and step-mother (who then had at least 8 children):
67,Brays Place,1,John Bennallack,Head,M,37,,Butcher,St Austell Cornwall,,
,,,Mary Bennallack,Wife,M,,29,,St Austell Cornwall,,
,,,Elizabeth E Bennallack,Dau,,,14,Scholar,St Austell Cornwall,,
,,,Hannah J Bennallack,Dau,,,13,Scholar,St Austell Cornwall,,
,,,John T Bennallack,Son,,6,,Scholar,St Austell Cornwall,,
,,,Richard T Bennallack,Son,,3m,,,St Austell Cornwall,,
and more children to come
I have the full descendants of Elizabeth Emma, but cannot figure out what happened to Hannah Jane.
Does any of this sound familiar or can anyone help with some advice?

Hallo, and welcome to B-G Forums (from a Packers fan in GB )
I have moved your post to the Cornwall forum, where it might attract more interest. The Surnames Board is purely for listing names being researched, and threads there are closed once posted.Sue Mackay

Always a difficult one when the surname (and first names in this case) can be spelled so many different ways!
I notice from FreeBMD that the two girls have "post'ems" by their entries - presumably, looking at the name of the poster, they were posted by yourself?
Have you obtained these birth certificates to check the details? Each entry is spelled differently - and that is just on the BMD register. The census and other references are likely to have further variations I expect.
A quick check through for deaths, marriages etc didn't lead to anything as yet. I tried a variety of variations - Ben* with Jane, Ann* and Hannah - but nothing in deaths or marriages in the St Austell area.

I found John's Christening record on the OPC John Benallack was christened 2 June 1833 St Austell. Their residence was listed as Carvath and Richard was a miner
Hope that helps

There do appear to be some Bennallacks who immigrated from St Austell to South Australia..... maybe it would be worth a look there (unfortunately I am on holidays at the moment so can't check my SA bdm records)....it is along shot but Hannah does appear to have vanished
