My family of Bennetts were carriers - first of all at Colton 1850's and then they moved to Ambleside and lived at Cheapside.
Thomas Bennett, born 1813 Colton Thomas Bennett (his son) born 1833 Colton.
John William Bennett (his son and my great grandpa) born Ambleside May 1865.
His son; my grandpa Ernest Bennett left Ambleside and moved to Mellor Nr Blackburn and married my grandpa.
Anyone any connection or information, please get in touch.
I understand one of Thomas Bennetts (1833) other sons Ernest Bennett ran a carrier business in Ambleside for a great number of years until approx 1922.
