Hi Have just googled the name Benery to see what came up and it appears it is a proper name and not a short form. Just one of those weird names that pops up. Just thought I would let you know and then you are not going round in circles trying to find out what it could be short for! |

Anyway, she (presumably the younger one) is listed as Benery on the GRO marriage index entry in 1894, so I guess it was her 'official' name. Kate. |

The Benery on the 1861 certainly looks like Benery; just having a look at 1881 now.... yes, it looks like Benery there too. But certainly that could have been a nickname or short for something. Kate. |

Maybe Bernie (short for Bernadette), or Bridie? Both Irish names. Perhaps the enumerator misheard the name? |

Could it be a mistranscription of Bernadette which is very much an Irish name |
