Carol accidentally deleted the wrong thread -- the one with all the info I put in it for her. Fortunately, I went back-back-back in my browser and found the thread as it was before that happened. ;)

Carol, if you want the info on the board, I can just add it here (I've already PMed it to Carol) instead of making a new thread as I was saying by PM.

Carol expressed her great thanks for the info about her father's family -- and you're very welcome!

Carol has asked that I post the info from her old thread that I retrieved after she accidentally deleted it, so it is here for reference.

In your other thread (which you should delete because it is a duplicate of this one)

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1118078

you said that his name might be "roy devainy-scott". I think you'll find that would be Devaney-Scott (Devainy isn't a name).


This person is very probably a brother of his:

Births Dec 1930
Devaney-Scott John F Reeves Berkhampstead 3a 1450


And because the name is so unusual, I would guess that this is the death of their father:
(This is from the index at Ancestry, available by subscription.)

Name: John Walter Devaney-Scott
Birth Date: 12 Mar 1903
Death Registration Month/Year: Jul 1996
Age at death (estimated): 93
Registration district: Bromsgrove
Inferred County: Worcestershire
Register number: 5
District and Subdistrict: 5121
Entry Number: 19

and possibly his birth:

Births Jun 1903
DEVANEY John Walter Birmingham 6d 12

and marriage:

Marriages Jun 1925
Devaney John W H Reeves Birmingham S. 6d 104
Reeves Mabel E Devaney Birmingham S. 6d 104


This info could be useful in tracing him via family.
