Bentley family descendants in Hull

Looking for descendants of Isaac and Fanny Bentley who emigrated from Russia/Poland to England in the 1890s. Possible branches of the family are children of Sam Bentley: Israel Bentley possibly married Maria Morton (1934); Rachel married Israel Gilbert (possibly in Leeds); Daughter of Abraham Bentley: Audrey might have married John Franklin; Olga might have married Maurice Dennison; and Ruth might have married Wilfred Pepper. Other sons were Wolff and Morris. All members of this generation were my mother's cousins and I am anxious to find their descendants in part for a family history I am writing but also because I think it's wrong for family members not to know each other. I want these people to know that they have a large family, in England, the USA, and Canada.
Another branch of the family are descendants of Max and Leah Bentley who emigrated to the USA in 1905. I know that they lived in Brooklyn, New York, at least until the 1930s. Their grandchildren would be my second cousins.
Appreciate any help I can get.
