- Notes
- CORRECTION (footnote): a memorandum signed by Chaplain Warner B. Otley, M.A., 28 May 1863, records that the father, Mr. Edwd. Leigh Bennett, certified the child's true name was 'Henry Leigh Bennett', NOT 'James Leigh Bennett' as entered here; the chaplain noted the remark was not forwarded to the Registrar at Madras. Brother of Isabella Harriet Leigh Bennett (entry 361, new No. 96). Dual-numbered: No. 103 (1856-65 series) / No. 368 (old running series). [Correction: When Died 1st -> 14th December 1862; and forename James -> Henry per the father's certified note on the register page ('Henry Leigh Bennett was the name ... not James', W. Ottley, 28 May 1863).] [Re-confirmed: the name is Henry Leigh, per the father's note on the register page, not 'James Leigh' as the Christian-name column alone would suggest.]
