ST. VINCENT BIRTH RECORDS
These birth records are for individuals born on St. Vincent or others born elsewhere with family ties to St. Vincent. Found in various newspapers and books, the source, when known, is noted with each entry. The parents of many of these individuals are also noted. Some of the sources are obituaries/death notices which stated the individuals were born on St. Vincent.
See also: BEQUIA BIRTH & DEATH RECORDS
NOTE: Be aware that while some of these entries are from modern newspapers, others are from transcriptions of old, hard to read newspaper articles, and there will be mistakes in deciphering some words and surnames, as well as question marks and blanks in places where a “guess” was not made. Also, spelling of some words has changed in modern times. Surnames have been capitalized for better reading.
Some of the extracts on this page were transcribed by researcher and author CINDY KILGORE, who has kindly allowed us to use them here.
Read about and/or buy Cindy’s St. Vincent & the Grenadines travel book.

Hi I am trying to find the original family name of my great grand father. He was given a British name of Albert Davis though his mother and father came from India to work in St Vincent. They were not allowed to use their original Indian names. My great grand father was born in St Vincent about 1886. does anyone know how to trace original migrant names by using the name of the plantation owner ?
