I need some help breaking down a brick wall. I am looking for the names of the parents of my ancestor, Alexander Bennet, b. 10 Oct 1838 in New Brunswick, d. 1903, Canterbury Station, New Brunswick. On the latest census before his death, he indicated his father was born in England and his mother in Ireland. He was married at least twice, and had several step children with his wife Eliza Ann Grant. His last marriage produced my biological great grandfather, Alexander Henry Bennett, also b. Canterbury Station. The elder Alexander appeared on earlier censuses as a farmer, and indeed there are land grants in his name, but later on he lists himself as a merchant. I haven't found any birth or baptismal records for him. Is there any way I can get back that additional generation?

Thanks,
Megan
