I'm struggling to find any trace of Stella & her 2nd husband Joseph Dehoney .
She appears on the 1939 register with the following line blacked out. This was probably the entry for her daughter Beverley from her first marriage to Victor Nye.
After this I cannot seem to trace any of them at all.
I believe there is a possibility that they moved to Belfast possibly for Joseph to work at Shipbuilders Harland & Wolf but this is by no means certain.
Grateful for any pointers.

No details of marriage years in your post.
Marriage to Nye was 1936 and second to Joseph M Dehoney 1948 - both in Kent
-
Sorry I should have mentioned that i had both marriages and the birth of Beverley.
Beyond that I cannot find anything for Stella or Beverley which are what I am interested in.
Thanks
-
Joseph can be found on the 1939 register in Kent with parents - birthyear 1912.
-
Can't find any birth reg for him or a marriage for his parents. Were they Irish as there is no Dehoney on the Irish 1901 census. Wonder if it was De Honey
-
Joseph's sister Evelyn P Dehoney married John WW Selby Sept 1942 Loughborough and died 1965 Kent aged 47
Children born 1944 & 1952 Loughborough. Perhaps they can help with their uncles whereabouts

Article about Civil Aviation Essay Competition, Belfast Telegraph, 26 October 1949: Runner-up in the competition was Mr. Joseph Dehoney, Rochester Ave., Cregagh, a draughtsman at Short Bros. and Harland.
1951 Belfast street directory entry for Rochester Avenue: 7. Dehoney, Joseph, draughtsman

Still there in the 1960 directory:

I have details of the daughter's marriage from a Belfast newspaper - given the website policy on details of living people, can you confirm is she is now deceased, or shall I pm you?
-
Old phone books suggest that J.M. Dehoney moved from 7 Rochester Avenue to 15 Rosepark South off the Upper Newtownards Road Belfast in the early 1960s and the listing at that address continues until at least 1981.
-
See reply 2. Nothing known of daughter so perhaps pm is better

Thanks for all that. I checked the Newspaper archives last night and noticed the wedding in the Belfast Telegraph.
I want to try and bring this line up to date so I need to somehow check whether Beverley had any children and indeed if any whether they had any!
I will have a look at the Joseph's sister route as well. It seems when they moved to Belfast they lost contact with the rest of the family.
I did notice that a Victor Nye (possibly Stella's first husband) died in 1939 which would account for why he seemed to have not appeared on the 1939 Register.

Thanks for all that. I checked the Newspaper archives last night and noticed the wedding in the Belfast Telegraph ...
If you check the phone books on the 'Ancestry' website, you will see a potential address for the groom in that marriage up to the last available book I could access (1981). Any children may well be alive, so you won't be able to mention them here.

Just discovered a better possibility for Victor G Nye died March 2003 (aged 90)
Thanks for your help.

Just stumbled across this. How was your search with Anthony Dehoney?
I’m also interested as he’s my Great-Uncle. He’s wasn’t Irish, he was Maltese. Him along with his parents immigrated to UK in the early 20s.
I believe he moved with Stella to Belfast and he owed a clothes shop. I don’t know much more but can find out if you’re still interested.
