June has not actually been entered twice on the Register - the original entry is as June M Bennett at No 3 on the Register with the 3 surname changes shown

Looks like someone has tried to make more sense of the entry and added it to the bottom of the transcription

Wow, this looks interesting, would be nice if families didn't fall out and not speak or pass down information!!

Look for his birth on the GRO site to establish MMN

Research should be fact-based as far as possible

Hi greyghost, looks like it should be the right family but 2 years is quite a big difference isn't it, but thank you for having a look.

William George Bennett was a Store manager at Woolworths in 1939.

Hi, managed to find out that his Grandparents were called "George" and Mina, so Grandad must not have liked the name William and called himself George! So ArgyllGran had posted some information which helps somewhat. Again thank-you to everyone who contributed. Teresa.

Thank-you ArgyllGran, they certainly moved about a bit, hoping it is the right ones, we shall see.

Posting in case Mina and William are the right parents:

Advise your friend to get his mother’s marriage cert for her father’s details

I have sent a message and hope to hear something either tonight or tomorrow. Many thanks once again.

ErikaH, his mother Daphne Mary Bennett was born Nov 1936, she married Raymond Turner in March 1956. Sorry didn't put that as didn't see you would need that information.

The child in hospital in 1939 is more likely to be this one
