She is always called Abby or Matty (as her first two names are Abigail and Matilda and is my mother. She is still alive but quite ill now. She married a Brian Tetlow. She had 4 children, Myself (Joyce), Fay, Julie and David. Audrey (mums sister) married a Pat Hanlon(both now deceased)and they had two boys, Elias and Patrick. Elias (mums brother)is the one that went down in the bomber in the English channel and there were no survivors. I believe he was a gunner in a Lancaster bomber and his brother Lawrence was a pilot in the Lancaster, not the same plane that killed his brother. My grandmother,Abigail Laulii Parker (later Chegwidden) did not return to Samoa but continued to live in New Zealand where she died in hospital when I was in my teens. I have a photo of my great grandmother and grandmother. Also photos of mum, Aunty Audrey, Uncle Elias and Uncle Lawrence. My sister Julie is getting together family geneology for one of her daughters who is living in France at the moment. Would love to hear from you and also pass on info to my sister.
