Info from Tipton Remembers page
Birth of John Thomas Devison registered June quarter 1888 in West Bromwich.

1891 Census
23 Littlefields, Oldbury, Worcs.
William Devison (29, Brickyard Labourer, born Horseley Heath) and Margarite (age 28, born Swan Village), and their 5 children: Lizzie (8, School, born Greets Green), William (5, School, born Greets Green), John (2, born Oldbury), Ann (15 months, born Oldbury), and Ada (1 month, born Oldbury).

Both parents died in the 1890's (Margaret in 1894 and William in 1897). William seems to have been 'adopted' by Thomas Devison who was most probably his Uncle.

1901 Census
38 Vernon Street, West Bromwich, Staffs.
Thomas Devison (40, Canal Boatman, born Tipton), his wife Elizabeth (38, born West Bromwich), plus 6 children from the first marriages of Thomas and Elizabeth, 1 child from their own marriage, plus John T. Devison (12, Adopted Son, born West Bromwich).

No trace of John Devison on 1911 Census. As he witnessed the Delhi Durbar to celebrate the coronation of the King, he would have been in India with the King's Royal Rifles in 1911.
