I'm looking for parents of Joyce V P Bennett - Joyce was born in 1919 but I have no names or dates at present so I know this will be difficult. She had a sister Margaret. The mothers maiden name was Shaw. Joyce was born in Pontefract so I am presuming her parents came from around the Yorkshire area . In 1918 Monica Peace Bennett was born to Mark Bennett and Isabella Rigby - but yet again I'm not sure of the relationship - just going by the name Peace. |

There is this marriage:- |

This looks like the couple above in the 1939 Register (although Alma is transcribed as female, on the image it is definitely male):- |

Looking at Bennett births with mmn Shaw in Pontefract is seems that they possibly had 5 children:- |

Thank you Kath, I had seen this record but having seen the name Alma I thought it was female so ignored it. I didn't know it was used for males too. Also there is quite a gap between Joyce being born in 1919 and Margaret born in 1932, at first I thought because of the war but obviously war ended in 1918 so presumably there must be more children born in those 13 years. The first names of mothers are not shown on records are they? |

Looking at births in the Pontefract area and also in the Hemsworth area where the family were in 1939 it is reasonable to assume that the births I have listed above are to this couple - especially as Joyce and Margaret seem to be there. |

No, I deleted my idea of Edna using a middle name. Edna and Margaret are both together with parents on the 1939 register and they are all living in Hemsworth, which is only 7 miles from Pontefract. |

thank you Kath, I'm waiting for my friend to receive family information from a relative but as yet no reply so we think the person may be on holiday. |

Fair enough, but I would be fairly certain in my own mind that the parents are Alma and Decadia. |

I was reading through and as soon as I saw Margarets name I thought 'Its not Edna then' and deleted the post so yep we were cross posting, lol thank you so much for your help Kath x |

Thank you again, I found some other bennetts in Australia with the name Peace, wondering where this originated and whether they are distantly related but am not looking into that as yet. |

You probably already have this. |

A search on freebmd shows many children born c. 1918 / 1919 in particular who were given the name Peace......probably by parents grateful for cessation of First World War. |

Is there any way I could find out if the fathers of Mark and Alma Bennett are brothers? |

Thanks for finding out for me, not brothers then - perhaps Peace was just a popular name after WW1 had ended. |
