Hi Joan

I have a Helen DEACON married to Lindsay GREEN. She was the daughter of
Charles Leslie DEACON and Gladys Louise Constance PALMER. This information
came from Catherine Carr in the USA. could you give me a little more
information as I would like to contact her (if I can find her email address)
and see where she got her data from. Most of what she has given me is well
researched but it's always good to check.

William Henry DEACON was the father of Charles Leslie DEACON and the mother
was Lucy Eleanor CHOWLES (which is Catherine's family). William seems to
have married twice, the second wife being Lucy Eleanor CLARKE the daughter
of his first wife's brother!

Kind regards
Tessa
