In 1846, my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, William Bennett and his family left Leeds, Yorkshire, England for America. Below, you will find the home that they left from, in Providence Place, Stanningley, Leeds and settled at 4725 Umbria Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Bennett's were in the textile business for generations. The row homes look so similar. They must have been prosperous, for they came across the ocean in first class, not in steerage, with an abundance of personal property listed on the manifest.
