Hi there all, I am just starting some family research to add to some by other 'family' members D'Elton, and am starting on the Vale, Taafe side.
My Family background is:
Paternal: D'Elton
Maternal: Vale, Taafe (Taaffe)
I noted with interest your comments about Alfred D'Elton and hope this is helpful:
I am the grandaughter of Alfred Ernest D'Elton (Mary Jane Black), and they had six children: Amy Harriet, Laura Josephine, Alfred Ernest (Young Alf), Mary Elizabeth, George Joseph, Charles Lesley (My Father).
Young Alf (Alfred Ernest 1897 - 1981)
1st Marriage - Doris Martha Allamby (1child William John 1919) - from family records and recounts from the Martin Family (Josephine B D'Elton(sister of Alfred Ernest Snr) - Walter Albert Martin).
2nd Marriage- Rose Waldron (Simpson who had 4 children)
they then had 5 children.
This may help your background search for the 'curious case of Amelia DEED nee Button, or may just confuse things more, even so your efforts have helped me in my searches.
