In an email from Greg Oliver dated 21 March 2022, Greg advises that his wife Jane, is the great-great granddaughter of Matthew Rundell and this Susan Kerrins. Jane is in this family tree but not connected. Greg asked what my connection to Matthew was. I replied that, “my connection to Matthew Rundell is through his wife Susan’s first marriage to Giles Frank Lapham. Susan and Giles had a son called Frank Edward Lapham. Frank was the father of Alice Josephine Lapham who married my Uncle Harold Douglas Oliver on 13/04/1937. Harold (born 19/04/1919) was an older brother to my father, Maurice Oliver”.
Greg is the grandson of Arthur Edger Oliver b.1895 and the great-grandson of Samuel (Sam) Oliver b.1856.

In a followup email dated 22 March 2022, Greg writes that, “Susan was born on route in the Bay of Biscay while her parents were travelling to a posting to India”. 
[NOTE: The Bay of Biscay is in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and lies south of Ireland and England, and off the coasts of France and Spain].
