Good Morning ,
I am hoping there may be someone on here that can help , my maternal Great Grandmother was Reta May Cohu her parents Were Walter and Ada Cohu, She was born in St Peters Port and was evacuated with her daughter Sheila May Cohu, i think she was pregnant also at the time with my great uncle Stephen , She passed in 1944 in Halifax leaving my great uncle to be raised in a children's home and my grandmother was adopted , I am not entirely sure if it was a legal adoption or if the family my grandmother were living / staying with with just kept her , She had a brother Walter his name is listed on on her death certificate but i have discovered that she was buried in shelf and that it was the council who paid for her funeral not any family members ,My grandmother Sheila died at 27 and my own mother at 44 so absolutely nothing is know about the family i didn't even know that the family came from Guernsey until about 6 months ago i am looking to see if they may be any living relatives of the family or if any one has any family information i would love to know more about my family roots,
thank you for taking the time to read this
