Hello,
My name is Michelle Deacon Carpenter. Edwin Deacon was my great-grandfather. His son Henry Deacon was my grandfather. The family moved to Houston, TX when they came to the U.S. I know of four Deacon children, Cyril Maurice Rhys Deacon (b. 1893), Winefred Deacon (b. 1896), Henry Arthur Deacon (b. 1901) and Lula Deacon (b.1904). My grandfather Henry Deacon was a Merchant Marine. He came to port a lot in Philadelphia where he met my grandmother. They had a son Henry Deacon Jr.(my father)and lived in Philadelphia. My grandfather died in 1969 at a VA hospital in New York. He is buried in Trevose, PA. Emily Deacon (my great grandmother) died in Texas either Chrismas eve or Christmas day 1954.
