Additional Information
† Harriet’s existence is confirmed by Charles’ and Fanny’s grandson Albert Henney, who as a 3 year old lived with them in 1881. The record shows him absent from his parents in 1881 but living with them ten years later. In 1851, after their mother’s death, Hannah lived with her father and paternal grandparents, while Charles (junior) lived with his maternal grandparents until his teens. Two years before marrying Charles, Fanny Slaney bore a son, Samuel Walter Slaney, out of wedlock. He was listed as Charles’ son, with the name Walter, in the 1861 census return. On his marriage certificate, in 1871, he used the name Samuel Walter Slaney, and entered Charles Bennett, labourer, as his father. This probably meant step-father, not natural father, particularly since Samuel Walter consistently used the surname Slaney.
