I have 'The great war for civilisation 1914-1919' medal. It's for Pte S W Peacock, I believe his number is either 260037 or 260057. It was in with my father's possessions. I would love to return to Pte Peacocks relatives. I have looked on findmypast with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Only about 30% of WW1 records have survived, so the chance of his being among them is quite low

FMP has a BRC and St John enquiry list, wounded and missing for S Peacock Royal Warwickshire Regt, no 260037

Have a look at FreeBMD to find the births of Mabel's children, searching with the two parental surnames.
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Two registered in Lothingland - 1947 and 1955.
You can then look for marriages - the 1947 daughter (Gloria) married in Suffolk in 1974.

She's listed on the ER in Lowestoft at least up to 2018, under her maiden surname.

Sadly, she died this year:
https://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/family-notices/in-memoriam/gloria-brady-429129

They had two daughters, born in Norfolk, in 1976 and 1985.
The undertakers might be willing to forward a letter from you to Gloria's family.

Mabel's son born 1955 probably married in Suffolk in 1974., and had a son in 1975 in Norfolk.

Can't see the son or his parents definitely on ERs.

Not in any GR trees

Sidney's other daughter Violet:

GRO Reference: DOR Q2/1995 in GREAT YARMOUTH (6361A) Reg A52B Entry Number 28

She had two daughters, 1946 and 1953.

The one born in 1946 married in 1952, and was living in Suffolk until at least 2017.

Can't spot the younger daughter definitively after her birth.
