You said you were looking for Flora and Edna, married names Cooper and White. So a lot of people have been looking for them.
Now you say you are looking for the death of Mary Jane Benson, which you didn't mention.
Given that the family members came from Barrow in Furness, Nantwich, Lytham and Peterborough, and Haughton died in Nottingham, we could be looking anywhere. There are loads of Mary J Bensons but I can't find any death to fit a birth in 1873 as implied in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
When you say "does anyone have any other information on their families", are you asking if anyone else is related to them? If so, try Search Trees at the top of this page. But otherwise the people who have responded to your thread have no knowledge of these people personally, but are scouring available records to try to answer your questions.
Do you know where Mary Jane might have died? For example, where did her daughters live after they married?

So given half a story I glean the following:
Flora C Benson married Joseph B Smith in Nottingham, December 1919, and then married Cecil Cooper in Basford, Sept 1927.
Edna May Benson married James White, Mar 1925, Derby.
No apparent death of Mary Jane Benson yet.
There are births of Coopers with mmn Benson all over the country, so that isn't leading my anywhere specific.
Only one found of a Benson/Smith:
England & Wales, Birth Index: 1916-2005 about Albert Smith Name: Albert Smith Mother's Maiden Surname: Benson Date of Registration: Oct Nov Dec 1916 Registration district: Nottingham Registration county: Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire Volume Number: 7b Page Number: 610 (click to see others on page) But before marriage in 1919.
Loads of Whites with mmn Benson.
Is this any use to you Michael? Am I right with my logic?
Can you tell us more to enable us to find the death of Mary J Benson?
For their interment you will probably be best to contact the council covering the municpal cemetery of the area. Some charge, some don't.
Margaret
