Hello Rosie, This a friend in US that asked for help.

More information-

Eva De La Feuilliez born New York not sure what year? (she has her details in US)
she married a Mr French not sure where or when poss. US ?
she then married a Albert Ernest Mason think born England poss c.1900
two children-
Albert Ernest Mason born 1924 not sure where?
Lillian Marie Mason born 1928/9 think born England.

I have looked for relevant births and have drawn a blank.

She is looking for info. on children and husband. She may have come over as Eva Mason if Lillian born here then around 1928 ?

There are also traces online of an "Adolphe French De La Feiulliez" - can't see details but Ancestry may have more.

Depending on his dates I wonder from the names whether he might be a son born to Yvonne & John French before marriage?

Ok - so perhaps Yvonne's father rather than son?

My friend has the US information as she is out there and has access to it, but I was wondering if there is any  mention of Albert Ernest Mason going out to US or Canada where he met Yvonne.
