I believe that is my family too. I really only have info on Lucy as she was my great grandmother who was born in Washington Co, MO in 1871. Her parents were Isaac Benning and Mary Bryan (as stated on her death certificate). She died Jan 1958 in Long Beach, CA. I know she had a brother "Will" as I have a picture of him. I would love to get any info you have and can fill you in on what little I have. vickibird@gmail.com

Arthur - late of Las Palmas - died in Belfast 1953. Another twist to the tale.

Re: Arthur L Benning - 1889 - UK - Canary Islands - illegitimate?

sueqpel173 — 2012-04-29 07:02:49Z

Update on Uncle Arthur! Possibly Arthur Launcelot Benning, married Mauricio LOHR (not Mohr)- trouble tracing them, could have ended up in Canary Islands, or possibly USA.

Benning - Thomas, UK & S.Africa

sueqpel173 — 2012-04-29 06:59:19Z

Born Tring 1823, parents James & Elizabeth, married Eliza. Went to SA approx 1877 with major children George, Elizabeth Jerome, and minor children Kate and Nicholas. Believe he was a hotelier, possibly Kingwilliamstown (Berlin? - a suburb?)Any leads on any of these will be helpful, Nicholas is my gr grandfather.

Re: Francis Mary Benning

Not sure of the John Benning. My Great Grandfather Herman Henry Prange came from Germany with a sister named Wilhelmina, her DOB would be 1839, they immigrated in 1854. Her mother's name was Catharina. If this is the Wilhelmina you're related too please respond. We are trying to find out what happened to that branch of the tree.

Arthur L Benning - 1889 - UK - illegitimate?

SuzanneBennett71 — 2005-11-26 12:13:34Z

I have discovered a great uncle, probably illegitimate. My grandmother Bessie Benning had been seperated and on the other side of the world from husband Nicholas for 2 years when young Arthur is born. L in his name could be Lovell or Lindquist. I believe (but cannot prove) that his father was Arthur Crouch Folkard, retd from Ceylon civil service to UK. He and Bessie plus2 children living in same house in 1891 census.

What county is Stanwood in? I have a Walter Benning born in Keosaqua in the 1800's. He died 4/12/76. He married Lena Lucas, also born in the 1800's, not sure where, died 8/20/81. Both died in Des Moines and are buried at Glendale Cemetary. They are the parents of Theodore Benning, an only child, who married Majorie Martin. She died in January 1987, also buried at Glendale.
My Bennings are of African-American descent, however whole family are very light skinned. Walter had 2 brothers, Lester and Harvey.

I am a decendent of Eve Burckley, born abt. 1851 in Germany. She was married to John Burckey, cr. 1870, they lived in Buffalo, NY. Sometime bewtween 1880 and 1895 John is gone and she is married to Anthony Benning, born abt. 1850 in Holland. In the 1900 and 1910 censuses Eve and serveral of her children are living in Anthony's household at 260 Bristol St. My great-grand mother, Kathrine Miller, was Eve's daughter. In fact, Kathrine, my great-grandfather Louis Miller and their family, the Millers, also lived at 260 Bristol in 1910. I would love the oppotunity to know more about Anthony Benning and his family. I know very little right now.

Eunetta - Sorry I am 4 years late in answering your 2000 query. I have photographs of the three graves there: Pleasant Moon Benning (1783-1845), his daughter Sarah Amanda Benning, and his mother-in-law Mary Meriwether White (1763-1840). Also a granite marker that names the three graves. No one else was buried there because it was deserted due to Civil War. Pleasant's wife Malinda Lewis White Benning (1789-1864) is buried with her son Gen. Henry Benning in Columbus. I have photographs of their graves, too.

Walter and Lena are the parents of Theodore L. Benning, an only child. Theodore married Marjorie L. Martin, daughter of Theodore R. Martin and Helen (Jackman? of Greene County, Iowa )Theodore and Marjorie had a son, my husband, Marcus Vincent Benning. Marjorie died 1/15/1987.

Mark, I have a photocopy of this book. It is out of print. You might be able to get it via interlibrary loan to make a copy. I'd be glad to share a photocopy as well. One caveat about this book: a cousin who knew this author had some reservation as to the reliablity of the research.

I am a descendant of Judith Benning (1785-1831) who married Jeremiah Lewis. I see that you have also posted asking for more info on this Benning family. I have considerable info.

A cousin has recently published her own research on this Benning and Lewis family and you might find it interesting.

Please contact me directly and I can give you details as to how to get a copy of the new book. Also, let me know what you're still searching for in more detail. I'm glad to share what I have learned. My email is <mharris@ku.edu>.

Benning - Nicholas Nickleby

SuzanneBennett71 — 2003-12-20 22:24:58Z

My gr-grandfather, but there's a scandal and skeleton in this closet. He obtained divorce in S Africa (1898) from his wife Bessie and the court proceedings say
a) He was "Married in Haste" and this is given as the reason why his middle name of Nickleby does not appear on his 1880 St Pancras marriage certificate. My grandmother was born 1882 therefore not an early arrival forcing marriage, also their only child (that I know of)
b) In divorce proceedings, marriage is noted as "Compulsory Marriage" Confusing again if you look at their childs birthdate.

Another possible scandal and skeleton arises with their child, my grandmother Winifred Benning. Family has spent years chasing her supposed husband Nigel Pelham with no success, but I think she was possibly not married because her actual birth certificate shows her christened Winifred Pelham Benning. Perhaps she had an illegitimate child (my dad) in India 1911 and merely took her middle name as a new surname. I have positively eliminated Pelham on the maternal side as she is descended from Lindquist - Lovell - Benning.
Anyone have any ideas? I am at a bit of a loss.
Sue Bennett sueqpel@yahoo.com

Re: Benning - Winifred Patricia

SuzanneBennett71 — 2003-11-06 16:42:52Z

Further to this, I have subsequently found out that she invented Patricia to substitute for her baptismal middle name of Pelham. That is interesting because she led family to believe she married Nigel Pelham and had my father in Poona 1911. Looking more like he was illegitimate every day. The names on her maternal side were grandparents Lovell, gr g'parents Lindquist. Full details of research to date on message board under Nicholas Nickleby Benning.

Benning - Nicholas, Bessie, Jerry -South Africa

sueqpel173 — 2003-11-02 20:20:08Z

Nicholas married Bessie 1880 in England, shortly thereafter they went to Kingwilliamstown. Daughter born 1882, Bessie leaves SA then and returns to UK. Back to Nicholas 1885, finally leaves about 1887 and does not come back. Nicholas granted divorce 1898 on grounds malicious desertion.
Any knowledge of him? He was my great grandfather - poss he married again in SA. There may have been a sibling, Jerry Benning who fell into a ditch and died, Kingwilliamstown 1881.
