The Social Security Death Index entry for Raymond De Forest born 12 Nov 1908 says his Social Security number was issued in Rhode Island before 1951.

And a possible Raymond DeForest marriage - https://beta.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VN51-L21

Perhaps he tried to cross the border, stayed in Vermont, and opted for a new or reverted to an old name?

Do you have an obituary for his mother or stepfather?

No obituary for either mother or stepfather.

Wilfred Beffre died 1 June 1952, Norwalk, Connecticut.
Josephine Beffre died 7 Nov 1950, Norwalk, Connecticut.

Have you tried contacting the Norwalk public library?  It looks like they will do obituary look-ups.

I did find death/funeral notices for Wilfred in the Bridgeport newspapers, but no detail about his family was given.

That appears to be a marriage record for the correct Raymond. His brother Elias got married 3 years later in Vermont.

What I don't understand is why the last name is different and that also includes the father's last name being different also?

On both marriage records they have the age & POB for Elias  & Raymond Euclid, the same as what is known from the census records, plus both list Josephine La Fay as the their mother, so we know we have the correct pair of brothers. The father's first name on both is Eli, but the last names differ? (Eli Deforest & Elias J Theriac). The 1910 census states Josephine has been married 7 years (1903) in her present marriage, which would indicate both brothers are have the same father. Why the difference in last names for the father?

Elias died in 1977.

In case anyone would like to see a prior thread related to this family:  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=614040.0

Thanks, that helps.

Not sure which thread to post this in, but since this is most recent and active I'll post here.

In the other thread there was mention of an  Eli Teriac who died in 1947 California.

Here is a link to the death certificate for that person.

Shelley and RJ137 thanks for the links.  I apologise for not posting the link to my previous thread, I hope I haven't wasted your time.

Josephine Lafay also had a daughter Josephine who died in 1906, presumably to the same father as both boys.

Searching for my FIL's fatherbeen complicated by my lack of original information and all the name changes.
