Hello Elaine My brother in law's mother was Jessie Maffitt.I have been researching his family for some years. I have at last found where his Uncle John Newland Maffit died,not the Capt.
He was a boatswain on the ship Monmouth,died 27th Aug 1918,and is buried in France.I have just had news my brother in law's cousin is having a dna test to find out for sure whether they are related to the capt,which is the only way. Regards Ann
