My name is Anne Hewlett (this is my maiden name) and my mum was Dorothy Violet Mahy who was the daughter of Elizabeth Martha Mahy (nee Lihou). Grandma was always known as 'Bessie'. The Alexander you are looking for was my grandma's brother but I am sorry to say I don't know anything about him - other than the fact he is my great uncle!

I was born in Guernsey and looked after by Bessie for the first three years of my life because Dolly (my mum) worked very long hours. For a while I lived in an old fort at St Martins and my great auntie Susie (Susan Olive who married Charlie Audoire) lived in the same old army barracks. I have very happy memories of sitting in her big old kitchen with other family members. Susie was Bessie's sister. Susie's daughter Linda (my aunt) lived next door to her mum with her husband Paddy and the two children Martin and Michael. My auntie Maisie lived in another part of the barracks. She was Bessie's daughter from her first marriage to Ernest (Ezekiel) Phillips Their mum was Amelia Lihou (ne Baker).
On the floor below lived my great uncle Maurice and his wife Georgina.
I would love to contact anyone who has a connection with my family. I have a few old photos.
Regards, Annie.
