This is likely having to do with the fact that when villagers are struck with lighting they are supposed to become a witch, however since you are in peaceful mode, they just despawn as witches are hostile mobs.

But they can get struct by lighting under a two layer roof? if so with what material can i use to protect them?

Ah, that's a detail that should be in the title, I didn't catch that part in the summary. No they are supposed to be safe under a roof, my bad.

I believe this works as intended. Lightning affects entities up to 3 blocks below one it struck - so build 4 layer roof to make sure it doesn't affect you villagers. Note it also affects entities up to 6 blocks horizontally - so it might struck you villagers through the wall. To prevent it build overhanging roof.
