Thank you.
I think the mother, Sarah, may have been Sarah Pentecost but the
family verbal history is that the Pentecost family were in Rangiora NZ.
I have a birth date of 1892 for Frances Vera Bennington..Are they likely to be the same person ?
Can you throw any light on the mother / father of John Bennington and Sarah ( nee Pentecost ? )?Thank you again for filling in the gaps so far.
It looks like John and sarah did live at one time in New Zealand. The marriage does not show parents names so you may have to purchase the cert to find them. (I assume they are shown on New Zealand certs I am from the UK)
