Doris died 10 March 2004 and probate was granted 14 April 2004. You could buy a copy of her will.

There isn't a matching birth for her in Sussex in 1915

This is from a tree on Ancestry.

Francis Stephen Bennett was born on 27 March 1879 in London, London, his father, Francis, was 22 and his mother, Marian, was 19. He married Ethel Ward and they had one daughter together. He also had one daughter from another relationship. He then married in March 1940 in Brighton, Sussex. He died on 17 March 1944 in Hounslow, Middlesex, at the age of 64.

The other child was Doris Bennett

Says married 7 years, 3 children born, 1 living, 2 had died.

On the image his occupation is Agent, Assurance company.

If he didn't marry Doris's mother, her birth is probably registered under her mother's surname.

Cheek of them Mel ! Do they think you've nothing better to do than entertain them on a Saturday evening lol :-)

Francis claims to be a widower in 1939 so Ethel must have died but I'm not picking out an obvious death for her.
