I'm trying to find out more about my mothers side of family. My mothers name is Rita Petgrave her maiden name is Chambers. My grandmothers name was Helen Bucknor her maiden name was Campbell. My grandmother was a devoted member of the People's Progressive Relief Association and of Lucea Kirk. Interment was in the family plot in Rose Hill. Officiating was the Rev Edward Chambers. Pallbearers were her children and Mr E E Harding, Ivan Cockburn, Mr Lester Streetle and Edwin Bernard. The eulogy was given by E E Harding and the Rev Chambers preached the sermon. Mourners included superintendents of police J J Francis,Harold Stewart,L B Coley, Mr & Mrs Freckleton, Mr & Mrs L Myrie, Miss Pietric, Mrs A M Daley, Miss N V Brown, Miss H V Brown, Mr & Mrs Egbert Campbell,Mr & Mrs Rapheal Lawrence, Mr Michael Chambers, Mr & Mrs Irving Bent, Miss Sharon Wilson, Miss B Myrie, Misses Nadia and Cecile Freckleton and Messrs Jotian and John Freckleton. If anyone knows any of the above who would know more about my mothers side of family I would be really grateful. If anyone knows anything aboutmy grandmother and my g grandmother I will be really grateful.

Modeste Aquart born St. Lucia 8 May 1798 and who graduated from Montpellier in 1822? 2. What or who is the connection between the Marucheau family of Guadeloupe and the Marucheau family of Grenada? Are Jean Francois Marucheau born Guadeloupe 1 October 1731 (son of Ren? Pierre Marucheau and Catherine D?couch?) and Jean Francois Marucheau of Grenada (husband of Marie Magdeleine Coulon) the same person or father/son?

See Ruth's post. Also if you are not the person involved they want a letter of authorisation. Bit difficult if the person is dead. The records from 1920 have been digitised. I don't know the position with records before that date. There was one case reported in the newspapers about a guy born before 1920. He had a hard time proving he was born. It is always a good idea to check with high commissions and embassies. With so many migrants everywhere, they are accustomed to doing this type of work. H
