1940 Census look up please

I found a more detailed obit for Wilfred Beffre in the Bridgeport Telegram.  It said he was born in Granby, Canada, had been a resident of Norwalk for 12 years, was a member of the French-American club, and was survived by two step-sons, Elias Teriac and Raymond De-Forest, both of Norwalk, and a niece and nephew in Canada.

I'm forever in your debt Shelley.

I know now Raymond is the Euclid I've been searching for.

His marriage to Mable Irene Bissett in May 1935 was a short one.  She died in 1941 in Las Vegas.  Haven't found any other marriages for him until Aug 1972, where he marries Joanne C. Doll then they promptly divorce in Dec 1972.

I would have thought that this was Mabel's death:

California Death Index

Name:   Mabel B Deforest
Birth Date:   25 May 1915 Canada
Death Date:   18 Dec 1971 Los Angeles


Could be waay off,though!

I'll check that out Maureen, thanks.  It's possible I have the wrong one.

Maureen, your suggestion is looking to be the correct one. 

Today I came across this: http://law.justia.com/cases/vermont/supreme-court/1952/222.html

No wonder I've been having problems finding him.

Wow,Jules-

That IS interesting! Well done for a great find.

Must admit I've not read through the entire case (and probably won't until Tuesday or Wed.).

Just something about arson and cooking Thanksgiving dinner....

Best,
Maureen

Enjoy!
