Hi,

I'm trying to locate any of the Hiscock brothers - John, Alan (whom I believe are twins born in 1944) and Terry (born in 1947).

Their late mother, Joan May Hiscock (maiden name Wrightson), was born 1921 and died in 1997. Joan lived in Darlington, Yorkshire (or at least I believe she's buried here) and her sons may still be residing here too.

I have some very important information about a relative (or rather relatives) which John, Alan and Terry may not know about, and would really appreciate any information on the family.

I'm also looking for anyone who knows of a (Sgt) Benjamin Michael Bennett, born between 1916-1920 and died in 1940. He was a Sgt in the RAF (58 Squadron), and sadly died whilst on a flight mission. His plane crashed in Brussels where he is buried along with four of his colleagues. His family, I believe, lived in Knowle, Bristol. Benjamin had a daughter, who was born after he died and was subsequently adopted by another family. We're not sure if his family were ever told that he was a father to be, so here we are, trying to connect the dots and make connections with some, seemingly, lost relatives.

Please, if any of this rings true with anyone, or anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Regards
Jola
