Time to Gill Net Bennett?!

 My posts yesterday included the following notable persons who had cropped up on following leads:

  • James Caan (March 26, 1940 – July 6, 2022)
  • Guy de Maupassant (Henri RenĂ© Albert Guy de Maupassant; 5 August 1850 – July 1893)
  • Franklin MacVeagh (November 22, 1837  July , 2934)
A  “July 6” pattern cluster  occurring on July 6th no less!! 

On Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site under July 6, I then noted the following: 

Lauren Bennett (24 June 1989 – July 2026) 37, singer (G.R.L.)(death announced July 6, 2026)

Her surname, Bennett, is the surname of my of my expartner of 27 years, so a definite twin heads upp. Of the first notable persons mentioned on Lauren’s wiki page, the following info definitely fits the bill:  

Note the cryptic deciphering in the name Bennett: Ben/time net…., with “Ben” being a cryptic reference to “Big Ben” (London clock)… and to associated with “time”…, “so time to net”, … butt, net what?

An etymology study reveals the following connection between net and lasso (see recent posts): 

Lace (n): early 13c., laz, las, "cord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.," from Old French laz "a net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snare" (Modern French lacs), from Vulgar Latin *lacium, from Latin laqueum (nominative laqueus) "a noose, a snare" (source also of Italian laccio, Spanish lazo, English lasso), a trapping and hunting term.

this one also caught my eye:  

drift-net(n.)

Drift-net (n.) "gill net, held upright in water by floats and extended by weights below, that drifts with the tides," 1660s, from drift (v.) + net (n.)

The “gill net”… given that her son’s name is “Gill”, short for Gillman.
