Ragga007 on March 2nd 2008.

Yes, Prime Mister of Trinidad & Tobago Dr. Eric Williams was related to one Mrs. La Board who used to teach me as a wee little girl.I think Maybe they were either first cousins or brother and sister, can’nt remember which. She was very friendly with my Grandmother Mrs. Teresa Ambrose, my mother’s mother, who my family grew up with. Very strict and proper she was, tiny lady with a strong voice even in her old age as I can recall. There are still some of her decendants back there. Mrs. La Board had two sons Earnest and can’nt remember the other name, he was married to a Barbadian lady. Hope this help you.

Hi i’m looking for info on my family surname ABBOTT Can anyone help please

The Soleyn family is intertwined closely with other Vincentian families of Indian extraction (e.g., King, Mackenzie, Moore, Sutherland, Alexander, Ledger, Roberts, Bacchus) as well as the Chandlers (brother David and sister Margaret), who were apparently from Barbados, and a Beharry family (my paternal grandmother’s paternal grandmother) the branch of which I have not been able to track. Having done some family charting a while ago, I would love to revive that hobby.

I am looking for people related to the Scott’s. My grandfathers name is Dudley Scott and his father’s name was Walter. They both left St. Vincent and went to Trinidad. I think we are related to the Mofford’s, Antoine’s, Dember’s, not really sure how. Any help will be great

Hello,
I’m looking to find out information about a George Arthur Cupid, born in SVG in 1873. If anyone knows anything please let me know.
Thank you,
Melissa

Hi Simon, I am also related to Ebenezer Theodore Joshua. I knew the family quite well as I was born in Georgetown.I was always in his house at Bayside near to the “Progress Hall” adjacent to the Anglican Church Rectory. His wife Ivy was very good to me as a child growing up in Georgetown. The Sugar Factory in Georgetown was dynamited during his period as a Politician. I remember that this was accredited to a Lenny Bynoe & others in Georgetown. As a child I was estatic that this happened only because I was let off school for a few days because the police went around with loudhailer, warning parents not to send their children to school because of the riots. (Dr Childs at Montague House) I believe her husband was hurt or something during the riots and she had to attend to many of the wounded. Corwin/Fraser/Rodgers.

Strange….i just took a try and looked at my extensive family tree and came across two Primrose men. That’s not a name you hear about everyday. One was a Scottish Rev. Dr. Primrose (no dates for him) who had a son named John Primrose Esq. (maybe a lawyer?) John married Elizabeth Arrindell on May 2, 1849.

Details of their marriage was published in The Times(London) on July 1, 1829 as follows:

Elizabeth (Eliza?) Arrindell, bride was the daughter of the late Isaac Arrindell, Esq. of Bequia and sister to the Hon. Richard Arrindell, one of the members of His Majesty’s Council of that colony.

John Primrose, Esq., groom was son of the Rev. Dr. Primrose, Minister of Prestonpans.

Actual marriage took place in St. Vincent on May 2

This link gives you the rest of the children and other particulars of the Reverend: http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I9920&tree=Fasti

Thanks for posting this. It has also enabled me to update my tree with all of these names from the link. I hope this ties into your Primroses. I would like to know if it does.

Hi Kezia,

Just so that you’re on the right path with place names, Barley is really Barrouallie. Maybe that will help you out for starters. I have a Slack on my tree from St Kitt’s who married my Vincy cousin but that’s the extent of it.

look for someone work on royal caribbean cruise line around 2007 sir name is clark or nedd daniel .ship name [ navagator of the seas ] please any info contact me urgent my name i colleen mills from trinidad and tobago

It’s extremely difficult getting easy access to information about some of our ancestors who may have been slaves. Names were changed, they were sold, traded, given as gifts, and separated from their own families. It was not until around 1811/1812 that England demanded registration of slaves in its territories. And even then, many times all you get is a first name.

I would try ancestry.com’s slave register records which are free to access.

Here is the link:http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1129

Just type in the particulars. Perhaps Robinson was his owner’s name?

My suggestion is that you don’t start with him. Work backwards starting with your grandparents, etc. Where were they born? That would place your great grandfather in a specific location. Look into civil records. I have some records that span from 1765-1850, but that’s only from St George’s in Kingstown, St Vincent.

Good luck.

thank u cherylhazell,

My great great great grandfather, who was originally from Peebles, Scotland, lived on SVG in 1846. I have a letter he wrote to his wife dated 13th March 1846. At the top of the letter, he wrote the place in which he was living called Havihall Estate. The letter talks about his daily life and he mentions pigs and chickens and eggs, so it seems like it might have been a farm??? Does anyone have any idea how I might find out more about Havihall Estate? Would love to know what brought my great great great grandfather to SVG, besides the awesome weather!

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is currently researching the life and career of a major benefactor of education in Wales of the nineteenth century, the London-born Welshman Thomas Phillips (1760-1851). Phillips owned the Camden Park estate on St Vincent from at least the early 1820s to his death in 1851. Very little is known of Phillips’ life and career. Any information about Phillips and trhe estate would be very gratefully recieved
