June Lillian Maud Kelsick 1933-1970
June Lillian Maud Kelsick, (I had friended a new cousin on Facebook, in California who contacted his cousin JoAnne in California) I originally had her name as Jane, so I could not find any information on her. As it turned out JoAnne was the daughter of June Lillian Maud Kelsick who first married Tony Gonsalves and they had a son named Lawrence “Dimples” Gonsalves. They divorced and June married Allister Sinclair Benjamin and they had a daughter JoAnne and moved to California. June died in England on a visit to one of her brothers. Lawrence stayed in Antigua, because JoAnne wasn’t sure of how to spell Gonsalves (it was provided to me as Gonzolas, I had to figure it out).
When I did and sent her information on her mother's full name and told her I had contacted her brother Lawrence and was able to provide her with her family background, she was totally overwhelmed as she had left Antigua when she was 7 years old and had not returned and did not know about her family.
