Paul If they are born after 1901, you will have to trawl births, quarter by quarter I'm afraid. Do you have their mother's maiden name?This is on the index after 1911. OC

Paul because mothers maiden names were not included on the birth index until 1912 & your family have such common names it could be a long expensive search. This one looks a possible as it is the only Francis Bennett showing on freeBMD between 1900-1912 & Medway district covers Chatham, you would have to buy the certificate to check the parents names. Births Jun 1909 BENNETT Francis Charles Medway 2a 750 Georgina.

This is the 01 census..but it doesn't help any ... Name: Fredk Bennett Age: 1 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1900 Relation: Son Father's name: Chas Mother's name: Ethel Gender: Male Where born: Chatham, Kent, England Civil parish: Chatham Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul County/Island: Kent Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Medway Sub-registration district: Rochester and Chatham ED, institution, or vessel: 29 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 123 Household Members: Name Age Chas Bennett 23 Chas Bennett 2 Ethel Bennett 21 Fredk Bennett 1 The address you mentioned is the same address on the census - so i guess you already have this info!

Paul No mate, the only way until the 1911 census becomes available is by certificate Kath x

Paul you will have to wait till 2012 until the 1911 census is released. Georgina.
