Help[Facts] MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME OCTERVILLE
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME TRACE MY MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME OCTERVILLE.
SHE WAS BORN AND CHRISTINED IN ST LUCIA IN THE EARLY 40'S.
A FAMILY MEMBER TRACED ITS ORIGIN FROM AS EARLY AS 16TH -18TH CENTURY RARE FRENCH USAGE. BUT THIS WAS FOUND IN A LIBRARY BOOK AT LEAST 30 YEARS AGO, BUT COUNTLESS INTERNET SEARCHES OVER THE YEARS HAS FOUND NOTHING.
HOWEVER THIS IS NOW A VITAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR IMMIGRATION REASONS AS SOME DOCUMENTS FROM THE BRITISH COLONIAL DEPARTMENT IN THE PAST HAD 'ANGLICISED' THE NAME TO 'ACTIVILLE' WHICH HAS CAUSED A DISCREPANCY IN THE VALIDITY OF HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE WHICH DIFFERS TO THAT OF HER MARRIAAGE CERTIFICATE , OCTERVILLE.
CAN YOU HELP/
ANY LEADS WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU
