William Bennett (of Lancaster)

From Graces Guide

of Heysham Tower, Lancaster

1857 William Bennett would be introducing Turner's burglar-detector to the people of Liverpool[1]

1871 William Bennett 59, Magistrate and Alderman of the Borough of Liverpool; trade: ironfounder, lived in Heysham Tower, with Mary Bennett 59, Mary Bennett 37[2]

1874 Inventor of a standpipe

1881 William Bennett 69, magistrate, later Iron founder, lived in Heysham Tower, with Mary Bennett 69, Mary Bennett 48[3]

Might this be the same as William Bennett, Junior who was in Liverpool in 1872-80?
