Notes for Ada Ginevra Bennett
Surname known only from that of her presumed sister (ie sister-in-law to her husband), Katherine Maud Bonnet aged 16 and also born at Maddington, Wilts, in the house with her at the time of the 1881 census.

But her marriage record on FreeBMD says she was ‘Ada Ginevra Bennett’; the surname I find more believable, not sure about the second name.  But ‘Ginevra’ is very clear on the marriage index.  So is ‘Ginevra’ on the birth index.
______________________________________________

No death record on FreeBMD before 1935, even though he reported himself to be a widower in 1911.  I searched for all these between 1901 and 1911 and born in 1853:
