Arthur Alvin Deason was 43 and allegedly a batchelor at the time of his marriage to Peggy Proffitt. They had 1 daughter Called Vivienne whom I am working with on this and all info and messages are with her permission.
Peggy Proffitt worked at Castle Bromwich aerodrome.She died aged 46.
Arthurs occupation was listed as time clerk. ? where
He disappeared from Tavistock Place ( London) in 1949 when Vivienne was 5 yrs old and we can find no trace of his whereabouts after that.He may have changed his name to Deacon.
We can find no death certificate for him.
We are trying to find his whereabouts after 1949 and also any possible previous ? marital relationships prior to his marriage to Peggy Proffitt and any potential siblings to Vivienne. Read between the lines re above statement. Any other info gleaned will be posted ASAP
Grateful thanks to all who are helping. Regards,Marie.
