Duncan Frederick Basil Rhodes b 1907 stoke

[Warwickshire Bear]

Hi
Looking for help in trying to find out what happened to the above, I found out he was married to Shelagh and at one time was in the Royal Cannidian Engineers around WW2.

On Ancestry I can find no death for either so guess they moved abroad.

Hope someone can help?

There is a Duncan Rhodes born 1907 going to Canada in 1925, born Timperley, but he is a farmer and father is a Dr T Basil Rhodes.

Adding information, he is going to his Friend, Mr D Crowther, Nelson, B C.  Father lives at Cranleigh, Burnell Road, Sutton, Surrey.  Travelling on the Montcalm, April 1925.

He was not born in Stoke

The 1911 index shows him aged 4 and living in Stoke - what birthplace is shown on the entry?

[tressle]

Timpereley is in Bucklow, Cheshire I think, will check Genuki

Using Duncan - other Rhodes living in Stoke upon Trent with Duncan Rhodes in household are as follows:

Irene May Rhodes - 9months
Mary Rhodes 30
Thomas Basil Rhodes 36 and father is a Dr T Basil Rhodes as per reply above
Thomas England Rhodes 73

Looks to me like he married abroad as there is nothing in this country

Many thanks for the help.

looks like he married in Canada as he was there as an 18 year old and probably fought for them in the war.
I found 1 mention of him in London Gazette,
he lived in Wembley for approx a year 1949. I guess he went back to Canada after that?

Has got any ideas for his sister Irene Mary? I guess she would have lived in Surrey with her parents.

There is no marriage entry that specifically shows christian names Irene May although there are a 3 entries for Irene M - Berkshire, Fylde and Leicester but none in Surrey
