Elizabeth Maud Shaw - Matthew Otter - Jersey CI deportees WW2
« on: Thursday 05 October 23 07:51 BST (UK) »
HI, I am looking to solve a problem in my family tree.

Maud is my wife's great aunt, she is from the Otter family,
My problem is to correctly assign Maud to the correct spouse by identifying Matthew Otter's parents,  does anyone know whether his mother was Lucy Chapman or Priscilla Joynson?

Welcome to RootsChat  :D

Some dates would be helpful.  When and where was Maud born?  Equally when and where was Matthew born?

You mention Jersey but don't give any indication as to whether Maud and Matthew were born there.

The dates and places would give searchers a starting point to try and identify the correct people.
Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China
Strong: Wiltshire
Watson: Cambridgeshire
White: Bristol

Found an earlier birth

OTTER, FREDERICK  WILLIAM     SHAW 
GRO Reference: 1911  M Quarter in NEWCASTLE UNDER LYME  Volume 06B  Page 49

Looks as though it is just the two children.  Possibly Matthew was in the 1st world war hence the gap between Fred and Maud.
