Thanks Bugs. Yikes, That is a city that hasn't come up before. After an IPs post at the thread we may have a - the town at birth had a name change or was absorbed into another town through the years.

The only other reference to a Deville in Quebec which I could find in Newspapers.com was in the obit of a train engineer, George Arthur Byrd, who died in Massachusetts in 1941. It says he was born in Deville, Quebec, in 1859. In his early 20s, he was working on a train in
Richmond, Quebec - which, according to the article, was formed in 1999 by a merger of "old" Richmond and the city of Melbourne, Quebec. ←

The AP article I ran across, for Nov 6, 1960, says Deville. That was in the New York Daily News. However, most (though not all) other versions in other papers on the same day say Denville. It's worth noting that Danville is less than 10 miles from Richmond. It's also worth noting that Danville is cited in several Canadian newspapers reporting his death. ←

In his autobiography, Sennett writes, "I was born in Richmond, province of Quebec, on St. Anthony's Day, January 17, 1880."[6] Many books sources report him, though, as hailing from Danville.[7] --

Good point Bugs. This has come up many times over the years in various articles. The place where a person was physically born can be different from where their parents lived at the time of birth. Thanks.

Indeed. Many people are born in medical facilities outside of their home, and if there is not such a medical facility in the city they live in, they may well be likely born in a different city they first lived in. For example, the town I grew up in (
Hudson, New Hampshire) has no hospital or birthing center. Most people who have children that live in Hudson will give birth in a nearby city, such as Nashua, Manchester, or Lowell. There would be very few people who have a birthplace of Hudson. --

Sennett describes himself as "a Canadian farm boy with no education". His parents, or at least his mother, had a farm in Danville: During some of 1935 and 1936, Sennett had returned to Danville, Quebec, on several occasions to visit and stay with his mother on her farm.[8] His father ran a small hotel in Richmond.[9]

Hello, i'm new here and i've been attempting to document the
Phineas and Ferb airings on
Toon Disney in order to confirm episode premiere dates on the channel, due to the fact that the current documentation on that is quite poor. Currently, i'm missing the following days (all in 2008): September 3, 22 - 25; October 1 - 4; and some in November 2008 and January 2009. The sources i've already used are Zap2it, TVGuide and Toon Zone archives.
