Find Ancestors

A thought just occurred to me. Alice Miles (b. about 1877) was the only girl in a family of 12 boys. This family was originally from the Plymouth area. Perhaps Thomas Deehy could be a son (or more likely a grson of one of her brothers) a nephew or great-nephew to her. This is an angle I will have to check out tomorrow.....but it is 2 am here in the great state of Texas USA....and I have GOT to go to bed.

Will talk to you tomorrow if you are on here,

Do you have access to Ancestry? There's a tree on there that has Thomas Deehy. According to that he came from Ireland and the first son died in Canada.

Hey rose,

I only have access to the free index----not to the complete records. I saw the listing for Thomas---didn't know he was from Ireland----I did locate a listing on ancestry for what appears to be his death record 1972 in Greater London area. I did also see the listing for the son who died in Canada. The younger son is also on their list as Thomas Patrick Deehy died 1992 in Buckinghamshire, England.

I just cannot make the connection to Freda E. A Bernhardt(Burnard) Clayton. Was told by my friend she had a son Patrick by a Mr. Deehy. But as I've said she's told me that her and her younger brother have been told so many things by various members of their family they aren't sure what to believe anymore.

The only other thing I can suppose is that the time frame these kids were born Patrick 1938, my friend 1938 and her brother in 1939----this was just before the German Blitz on the city of London during WWII (1940-41) and that is the reason my friend and her brother ended up living with grandma----they thought (or were told) mom had been killed by a bomb hitting their house ...and dad was in the war in North Africa....I just don't know why Patrick was living there and why they were told he was Freda's son when I can find NO proof of this. AND if she was going to leave him with her mother, why didn't she also leave her son Francis S Clayton by her first husband who had died in 1931 a year after Francis was born??? He would have been about 10 at the time unlike the others who were 1 1/2 and 2 1/2.

Anyway so many questions, so few left who would know the facts and would "fess-up" to the truth.

I really appreciate all your help. Thanks to you we do have his marriage date, kids names & info, and the second marriage for his wife. As well as his dad and brother's death rec and brother's relocation to Canda.

Thank you so much,
Sarah
