Does anyone know any information about my grandfather called Charles Payet. He may be in his eighties. Up until recently he lived in Praslin. He had 2 children with a woman whose last name was Esther. They had a son called Walter (who died about 20 years ago) and my mother who was born in May 1943. Her mother died in a traffic accident outside a church in Mahé. My mother was cared for by missionaries (in particular Grace Durope) and was renamed VICTORY MAY PEARL (ESTHER). She has several half siblings but they have all emigrated to Australia. She lived both on Praslin and Mahé but left for England when she was 18. Any information would be gratefully received, especially to find the name of her mother.
Kind regards Alison Linley. (UK).
