== ''South African Women's Who's Who'' (1938) ==

The ''[https://books.google.com/books/?id=bBUUAAAAIAAJ South African Woman's Who's Who]'' (1938) apparently contains at least one photograph or portrait of [[Julia Solly]]. It would be useful to have an image to add to her Wikipedia page (if only under "Fair Use"). Thanks, [[User:Muzilon|Muzilon]] ([[User talk:Muzilon|talk]]) 01:23, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

For '''[[User:ImaginesTigers/sandbox|Odin]]'''.

I've tried at length to track down this book. Many scholars cite it as a successor to [[Jan de Vries (philologist)|Jan de Vries]]'s philological work on Norse mythology. Given de Vries's controversial career history, I'd like use more modern replacements wherever possible.

It mentions Charles Alan Bennett as the father, Constance Radeglence Bennett(?) as the mother, and their unnamed son, who is under one month of age. This son was born at [[St Albans]]. In my opinion, this unnamed son is John S. Bennett. The parents match up, and if his age was under a month at the time of the [[1911 United Kingdom census|census]], which took place in April 1911, then the birthdate would be some time in March, matching that of John S.

::::@[[User:Aeengath|Aeengath]]: Are you searching newspapers.com? I think it's also by Ancestry, but in my experience, it has better coverage. Anyways, some stuff that may be useful: [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-houston-post/174245824/ profile of wife + image] and [https://www.newspapers.com/article/bucks-free-press-marriage-of-bennett/174297613/ this has an exact date for their marriage]. Some other random tidbits, interesting but probably not important: [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-houston-chronicle/174297507/ some info on food they eat], [https://www.newspapers.com/article/evening-standard/174300699/ broke his arm] and [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-houston-chronicle/174300764/ in a car accident].
