My grandfather told my father & uncle that he was brought up by an aunt in Leicester. He was born on the 4/7/1909 not sure where & died in October 1984 in St Albans Hertfordshire. He married my grandmother Bridget Kathleen McDonald in Kensington London in October 1939. The marriage certificate states his father was named Michael Bennett, he was deceased & had been a hospital attendant. The moved to Watford Hertfordshire where they lived until they dies in 1984. My grandfather retired in 1974/75 & my uncle confirms my memory that he had problems getting his state pension at the time as there was some problem with his date of birth. My grandparents wedding cert also showed them living at 46 Ifield Road SWI at the time of their marriage, however the voters roll shows a Harry & Mary Bennett at the address. Is anyone missing a John Bennett, I do have photo's & would very much like to know where my grandfather was born/from.

1. A 1984 death certificate should show a place of birth. It might not be accurate but you ought to know what it says.
2. What do you know about the aunt? Her identity could be important.
3. Harry and Mary Bennett may be the big clue. As you have no known relatives of John Bennett, it might be worth tracing Harry back to see what you find.
