Carlton H DeVille

[rutht22000]

There is a listing of a C H DeVille in the roles for WW1 Britain. In it he is listed from Leeds.

Think that might be Charles Henry DeVille (registered born 1883 in Leeds)

"dont know why i cant find him in the NSW death indexes tho"
Because he died in ACT.

Correct Ruth just found him Glassworks wetter?

I wonder how this bloke escaped getting his name put in three census returns tho.

Just Wonder if he changed it?

I'm wondering if there was a name change too...if he was English he well and truly escaped. I can't even find any birth registrations for anyone remotely like that...even messing with spellings

I fear the marriage certificate is needed.  The manifest gives his occupation as a painter so if he was an Artist type painter he could well have changed his name to sound a bit more 'arty' if you know what I mean 

edit - his obit says painting trade so that might suggest a decorator....does say he was in the RAF in the last war (presume 14-18) so there must be a military record somewhere - unless he is your Charles Henry with a name change???

Some electoral roles would be nice they should give his occ.?

[rutht22000]

Australian ones just say 'painter' so the  manifest is the right bloke

Not sure if UK electoral rolls are online?

Drawing a total blank....

i think we need to find a street directory for 1924/1925 for Chester somewhere and see who was living at Vernon Road because that and the marriage certificate might be our only clues

I cant even find any trees with a Carlton Deville. Thought it would be interesting to check out if there was one

Many thanks for all the replies and I apologise for not looking in sooner.As far as Trees,there is only one apart from mine with Gertrude in .The other one doesn't have any spouse or death for her.
