George, his last name before marriage was White Bennett - Born 2 March 1814 Newcastle area, UK. Died 3 June 1855 (drowned), Barrets Reef, New Zealand.

married 20 Nov 1840 to Mary Jane Hebden - Born 11 Dec 1815 or 1816 Braisty Woods, Low Laithe, North Yorkshire, UK. Died 6 July 1885 Dacre Banks, England.

they eloped to New Zealand in 1840 I believe. & married in Wellington, New Zealand.

They were the first lighthouse keepers in NZ. Mary Jane is the first/only women Lighthouse keeper - i have lots of info on that.



from the info I have, Georges parents - George Bennett(born 1772Whickham, Durham, married Ann White(born 1783 or 1784 at Livelwell, Durham, England) They married 12 Feb 1807 in Wickham, UK.



as for Mary Jane I have a fair bit on her fathers side, but nothing on her Mother Mary Webster (born 1788 / died 1865 Dacre, York, England or Died 3 AUG 1882.



Presuming Ive got all the right people & details, which I think Ive got right. but it starts getting sketchy.



any help or info would be great, im very new to all this!

I think this is the right George Whickham, Durham
