Notes:

Charlotte Louise Bennetto, wife of Thomas McGiverin, was the daughter of Israel Bennetto and Philadephia Hooper Bennetto of Lambeth, London, England, and later of Hamilton, Ontario.

Charlotte Louise was born in the Lambeth Registration District on 10 August 1847, and came to Hamilton in Canada West with her parents and siblings as a young child. Her father, Israel Bennetto, died at Hamilton on 31 Aug 1859 -- Charlotte was just barely 12 years old.

Charlotte's younger sister, Susan Elizabeth Bennetto, eventually became a school teacher, and served the Hamilton School Board for over 52 years. She was the first woman Principal in the City of Hamilton -- quite an achievement for the times -- and which is why I became interested in tracing this family.

________________________

Philadelphia Hooper and Israel Bennetto were married in Lambeth Registration District, London, Middlesex, England, in the 4th Quarter of 1846

The family emigrated to Upper Canada in the mid-1850s, arriving at the Port of Hamilton on Lake Ontario, and settling in the relatively new Town of Hamilton

Children of Israel and Philadelphia were:
* Charlotte A Bennetto, b. England, 1848
* Susan E Bennetto, b. England, 1850
* Thomas H Bennetto, b. England, 1853
* Annie (Fanny) Bennetto, b. Hamilton, 1856
* Ellen J Bennetto, b. Hamilton, 1858
* Israel Bennetto Jr, b. Hamilton, 1860

Widowed in her 37th year and only a few months before the birth of their 5th child, with five other children under the age of 12, Philadelphia soldiered on and raised her family single-handedly

She died in 1882, at the age of 80 years
