uncertain if Henry Bennett is the person I am looking for ( although that is a common family name-including my own middle name ) but I always knew my Grandfather as Frank. The age would be about right as my grandfather died in the 1980s & he was in his 90s.
He came to N.Z. in the early 1920s.
1901 Tintagel Census might help:

You might be interested to know that there is a Francis Bennett nearby today who owns Wakefields Printers in Camelford - you never know there might be a link. Francis is a lovely chap and about to retire.
ooops, and before I forget, check out the earlier comments on this forum posted about William John Bennett of Trethevy and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
