I am looking information on the descendants of P. Henriksen of the Winnipeg area. Mrs. Henriksen is a daughter of August and Johanna (nee Larson) Benson, and who lived at Charleswood, Man. in 1944. Charleswood would be a suburb of Winnipeg now. She was probably Gertrude Benson, born Mar. 1910 at Winnipeg but she could be her sister, Annie Benson, born Aug. 1907. Gertrude had older brothers, Arthur and Olaf, and a younger sister Kay.

From the The Winnipeg Evening Tribune June 14, 1944 pg. no 19: "Mrs. Johanna Benson. Funeral services for Mrs. Johanna Benson, 70, of Oak Bluff, Man. were held today at 2:45 p.m. in Mordue's funeral home, with burial in Elmwood Cemetery. Mrs. Benson was born in Sweden and came to Canada in 1900. In 1904 she moved to Oak Bluff, Man where she resided until nine months ago when she moved to Charleswood, Man to live with her daughter, Mrs. P. Henriksen. She was a member of the Ladies' Aid Society at Oak Bluff. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Henriksen and Mrs. Kay Wigg, England; two sons, Arthur, Oak Bluff; Olax, serving with the RCAF; one sister, Carrie Jorgensen, Norquay, Sask and three grandchildren. Her husband, August, died in 1934."

Thanks,
