Hi Gail,
I realize you posted on this genforum several years ago. It's nice to hear from another distant relative (a Bennett, too!). Most of the posts I have seen list Margaret's name as Pattie but I have seen Peddie also. Similarly, I have seenArmet in place of Armit. I guess it depended on the individuals who recorded the names.
The 1841 census has Margaret living with Ann & George Fortune (all born in Fife) and lists her age as 96!! It also says Ann was 49 and George was 47, but this census often listed ages incorrectly. Have you made any recent discoveries?
Where does your Bennett line come from? My father was born in Scotland but his Bennett family originally came from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire.
Regards,
Donald
