Searching for any info about Leslie Claude Pavey born 1906 in Patcham, Brighton, Sussex. I can see someone with the same name on Australian passengers lists but as I don't have membership for World Wide Ancestry it won't show me the record.
Is there anyone who can have a look for me please.
Many, many thanks
Phyll

Many thanks Kathleen and MarieCeleste. The address doesn't mean anything to me but I guess he went to London when he was old enough. if it is my Lelsie I don't blame him for wanting to get away.
Once again many thanks

In the 1911 census Leslie Claude Pavey has a brother called Percival Pavey, so the record Gwyn found looks right.

Hu Phyll...just confirming, in case I have read this incorrectly, you are not looking for Leslie Claude Pavey, but Leslie Ross Pavey?

Because Leslie Claude definately exists...

The 1931 Electoral Roll for the Subdivision of Sandhurst East, State: Bendigo, Commonwealth- Bendigo, shows Leslie Claude Pavey residing at Brick Kiln, Thunder Street, Bendigo and employed as a Labourer.

In the 1936 Electoral Roll for the Subdivision of King, State: King, Commonwealth - East Sydney, Lelsie Claude Pavey is shown as residing at 21 Francis Street and is employed as a pantryman....

I am not sure how Leslie Ross relates to your chap..maybe he was a son or a nephew? On the electoral rolls, Leslie Ross is actually Leslie Ross Claude Pavey

Hi AmazingGrace

The marriage posted above states both names, Leslie Ross Claude Pavey, so think they are likely one and the same.

Information for you on Lionel and Evelyn if they are your rellies:

The 1943 Electoral Roll for the Subdivision of King, State: King, Commonwealth- East Sydney, shows Leslie Ross Claude and Evelyn Eileen Pavey residing at 106 Phillip Street. Leslie is employed as a Motor Driver; Evelyn is employed as a Saleswoman.

The 1949 Electoral Roll for the Subdivision of King, State: King, Commonwealth- West Sydney, shows Leslie Ross Claude and Evelyn Eileen Pavey residing at 106 Phillip Street. Leslie is employed as a Motor Driver; Evelyn is employed as a Saleswoman.

The 1954 Electoral Roll for the Subdivision of King, State: King, Commonwealth- West Sydney, shows Leslie Ross Claude and Evelyn Eileen Pavey residing at 106 Phillip Street. Leslie is employed as a Motor Driver; Evelyn is employed as a Saleswoman.

Percival Alan seems to be someone else, born in Australia and younger than Lionel, so not the one that is in the archives with the photo as found by Alviegal unfortunately.

Hi All
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
I am looking for Leslie Claude Pavey. I don't know where the 'Ross' has come from, assume he took it upon himself. He is shown as a Carman on the passenger list so his occupation as Motor driver fits.
Regarding Percival Pavey - I haven't found him with a middle name so I don't think the above is the one I want.
Once again I am astonished at the help I have been given and thank you all very much.
