Look up, John Aden Dace

[Lisa in California]

So he was born John Aden Dace to Florence Warham & John Dace born 1907. That sounds like it could be a good match, though why the name change John, Aden, then John & changing the surname to Dacey??  Also saying he was born in the states. As i mentioned above i think his brother did the same. Would they have had better prospects if they said this? I know Aden's uncles father did the same he was born in Ireland but claimed he was born in Liverpool as the irish were not held in great esteem

I know quite a few people who use their middle names, rather than their first names.  I've never asked why they chose to do this.  I also have several family members who have done the same.  Their middle names were easier to understand, they liked them better, they were more unique.

He may have had better job prospects if he said he was born in the states.  Someone may have given the information for him, thinking he was born in the states.  If he came over when he was a child, he may have lost quite a bit of his accent or intentionally tried to sound American.

Dace/Dacey:  Is is pronounced like ace with a d in front, or is it similar to lacy?

I don't think this has been mentioned; could there be any connection:

John Dacey married Emily Baldos(?).  John was of Detroit, Michigan, born England, age 19, Metal Finisher.  Father was John and mother was Lydia Duke. Married 9 June 1934.  In the presence of Frank Florek and Bernice Baldos.  Clergyman was a Roman Catholic priest.

Lydia Duke was his stepmother so this is likely his 1st marriage, the Roman Catholic marriage does not surprise me as his aunt married in a RC ceremony to.

I'm not entirely sure, i've always taken it to sound Dace as in Lace.
