Chill family in Burma

Classification: Query
Surnames: Mason, Chill, Churchill, Church
My great grandmother was Dorothy Mason (nee Chill), and was born in Burma in 1895. There is a family myth that in fact, the Chills were part of the (Winston) Churchill family. After a serious disagreement between relatives, one side of the family split from the other - one keeping the name church, and the other keeping the name chill. Sounds weird, but my g grandmother was very clear on this, along with us being related somehow to Lord Winston Churchill. Dorothy Chill married Captain John (Jack) Mason, who was a chief pilot in the Malacca and Singapore Straits. They had three daughters, Lorna (b Penang, Malaya), Margaret and Evelyn. If anyone knows anything about these people, please do get in touch.
