Duncan Frederick Basil Rhodes b 1907 stoke
« on: Friday 15 January 10 11:53 GMT (UK) »
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.

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

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.
