BENNETT/BURLURAUX

FAMILY TREE & HISTORY

I SHOULD LIKE TO CONTACT OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS

My name is Margaret and I am a direct descendant on my father's side of Thomas BENNETT who was born c. 1770 in Penshaw, County Durham.  In 1848 his Grandson (also Thomas BENNETT) married Elizabeth MUSTARD.  It was her father - Thomas MUSTARD  who introduced glass making into the family. My father was a glass making consultant.   

My mothers Grandfather was Sèbastian BURLURAUX. He was born in 1829 in a small French village of Rupt en Woëvre.  He came to England in 1845 and finally settled in Huddersfield where, amongst his other interests, he established a basket making business. He died in 1884.  Other family members settled in Leeds and Newcastle.

I have been able to trace the family line back to c.1620 in France

In collaboration with another family member, Norman Burluraux, and the help of many more, I have compiled a family tree of known information. There are however a number of gaps and incomplete records.

I have well over 1,000 names in an index covering over 130 surnames

I would be delighted to make contact with other family members and/or their descendants, or anyone with a connection with my family, with a view to extending my records.

In return, I should be happy to pass on any information I have gathered.

I hope to hear from you
