I currently have a free trial on Ancestry for U.S. records. Try as I might I can't find Raymond Euclid Deforest or his wife Mabel Irene (Basset) Deforest.
1935 he marries Mabel Irene Basset in Lyndon, Caledonia, Vermont.
1936 he is living with wife Mabel at 32 Chapman, Greenfield Massachussets
1939 he lives at 104 South Main Street, South Norwalk (home of his mother Josephine (Lafay) Deforest Beffre.)
1940 Draft Registration Card gives his mother as next of kin. Address given for him is 35 1st Street, East Norwalk, Connecticut.
1941 Norwalk Directory with wife Mabel I. at Pine Street, South Norwalk.
I have a few more records going forward but I'd like to find them in 1940 to see if they had any children.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

He wasn't at the house at 35 First Street, nor was his mother.

Pine Street is in Enumeration District 1-94. I don't see them there, either.

Thanks Erato I’ve spent hours today going around in circles trying to find them. With his name changes he’s been a hard one to find.

Josephine M Lafay B. 31 May 1888 Cumberland, Maine to Claude J.F.Lafay & Delia Larive. I do not have the birth record for Josephine but have them for her siblings.
11 January 1904 she marries Joseph E. Deforest, Maine. Info from Maine Marriage Index.
1 December 1904 son Elias Joseph is born Connecticut. I can't find birth certificate.
20 November 1906 daughter Josephine dies age 3 months from Rhode Island Island Records
12 November 1908 son Euclide is born Rhode Island. Birthplace on census is given as Arctic, R.I.
1910 Census, Willamantic has Josie Deforest and Eli and Euclide Deforest listed with her as head of household.
1920 Census Woonsocket has Eli & Euclide Teriac in the home of Wilfred Beffre & Josephine Beffre. Wilfred and Josephine did not actually get married until 1940.
According to a Vermont court case online Euclid Theriac married Mary "Anna" Beaulieu on 1 February 1927 and a daughter Therese Theriac born 3 August 1927. It states in the court transcription that Mary "Anna" was dead when he remarries - can't find a marriage or death. Theresa is in her grandparent home in 1930 census.
22 May 1935 Euclid marries Mabel Irene Basset who was born in Canada 1915. It seems to be from this point Euclid chooses to go by the name Raymond Euclid Deforest for the rest of his life. I have many records of him from 1935 until he dies in 1983
1930 Census Woonsocket has Elias Theriac, his wife Jane and son Elias Roger.
I am unsure why Elias and Euclid's names change from Deforest to Theriac, I don't know what name they were actually registered with. On Elias Joseph's death records his father is listed as Eli Teriac. ???
I have tried my best to map out which names they were using at different times in their life. I'm a bit rusty at researching right now as I've only just come back to it after many years of doing none.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on where I should focus my research on.
