searchig for my family

Dear Tyree,
My grandmother had a nephew who was a doctor by the last name of Tappin. He had a family which she lost contact with after his untimely death at the hands of someone who was executed for his death. Could this have been your grandfather? Does this sound at all familiar to you? I met him only once when I was very small. Our family is from Christ Church, in Barbados. My Grandmother was Winifred Bynoe. Her mother I believe was Elizabeth Cumberbatch (sister of Julia Cumberbatch). Among some of my grandmothers'things I found a return receipt for a parcel from "L.S. Tappin , Seafall, St. Phillip, Babados,W.I.". Her half sisters' name was Blanche Tappin. I would be interested to know either way.
May your search be blessed.
Sincerely,
Chris
