Yoveish/Wallace

[Vella]

Looking for information about the Yoveish later Wallace family who lived in Deptford in the 1939 census. Edward Yoveish was my Godfather.

What information are you after so we don't spend time looking for what you already have. 

Could you please post the information from the 1939 register.   Do not post any information on anyone who is possibly still living.

I see there was a thread in 2007 in which the name of Konstantin Yoveish/ Constant  Wallace is mentioned. Perhaps it can be linked.

I am writing a memoir of my late father who I believe met Edward Yoevish whilst in the Liverpool Scottish regiment posted in Gibraltar in about 1946.
I do not know if my Godfather is still alive, if he is he would be well over 90 years old.
The 1939 register shows a family with the name Constant (master tailor) , wife Mary and son Constant (Tailor) and a younger child who I presume may be Edward.
I would like to find out which country he was born in and whether they escaped the Nazis before WW2.

Thankyou everyone. I have now found an Army record for Konstant Yoveish for WW1 on Ancestry which fits.
I will try Family search too.
Many thanks
Sylvia
