James Guillermo Bennett, emigrated
I'm trying to trace this man's parents:
BENNETT, JAMES GUILLERMO NOBLE GRO Reference: 1887 S Quarter in REDRUTH Volume 05C Page 202 Day Month 24-Apr Year 1889 Parish Circuit Or Chapel Gwennap Forename James Guillermo Surname BENNETT Sex son Age Or Date Of Birth Father Forename William Mother Forename Elizabeth Residence Ting Tang Parish Status Or Occupation Coach Painter Where Baptised Notes 3/7/87, M, Mrs Richards Transcriber Notes Transcriber Coral Jennings The parents' marriage was in 1886. 23 Oct 1886 • Redruth, Cornwall, England Date from newspaper announcement The bride was given as Bessie Noble, not Elizabeth. William Henry was from St Austell. I can't find them on the 1891 Census - had they already emigrated? No further births have yet been found for the couple.

There are New York naturalisation records showing he arrived in New York 12 Jul 1889:

And sorry to say the 1890 US census has not survived, so we can't look for them on that.

The parents and James are all in New York on the 1910 Federal census. James apparently married Florence in Manhattan. Haven't look any farther. Sent you a PM.
EDIT: Ancestry had the father down as William H Bernatt. I've made the correction.

Thanks to you both, Kate and Janet.
I'm a DNA match to a descendant of this family so I need to delve back into Cornish records to see the connection. I have Bennetts in my tree, but from the 18th Century.
