Edward Dennett was born in the Isle of Wight, at Bembridge, and died in Croydon after a short illness. His people were all in the Church of England, but he was converted as a lad through the instrumentality of a godly clergyman, and he left the church from conviction and became minister of a Baptist Chapel in Greenwich, having previously matriculated at London University.
In 1873 he contracted a severe illness through visiting one of his parishioners, and was sent abroad for a year by his people.
