Notes for Alan James DEASON
Birth registrastion: 1922/583/Perth.9

Alan James was born in 1922 in Perth, where his father worked for the WA Police. At that time the family was living in the Police cottages at the entrance to Fremantle prison. By 1925 they had moved to 14 Henderson St, Fremantle.

Later in the 1920’s Alan’s family moved south to the timber mills where their father worked as an engine-driver; initially, to Mornington Mill near Harvey, WA and later Nanga Brook, WA.

About 1936 the family moved to Mt Palmer (near Yellowdine) WA where Alan’s father worked as an engine driver at the mines.

After the Mt Palmer mine closed the family moved to Coolgardie where Alan’s father, Tom, continued to work as an engine driver.

In 1941, Alan and Billie married in Perth.

By 1949 Alan and Billie were living in Morawa, WA (370 klms NW of Perth). The 1949 Commonwealth Electoral Roll noted Alan James’s occupation as: barman, Billie’s as: waitress and Alan’s residence: Hotel, Morawa and Billie’s: Morawa. By 1954 they appear to have their own business in Morawa. The 1954 Commonwealth Electoral Roll noted both Alan James’s and Billie’s occupations as: greengrocer and their residence: Morawa.
