Hi,
I am trying to find information on a Joseph Ollivierre or Ollivierra. I believe the Lintons from near Victoria Park were also descendents. I remember an Aunt Catherine. He owned lands above Sally Spring from the “Terrace” pit half way to Sion Hill.
His family came from Portugal? and he was the last one in the family to be born (he was born in St. Vincent)
When the family went back he stayed and had a big family.
