1. Hilliards [1]
Looking for Information on the Hilliards. My relative, Thomas Norvell/Noell, large sugar plantation owner and slave owner (brother of Sir Martin Noel) married Thomasine Hillard in the mid 1600. Any information about Thomas or Thomasine Hilliard would be helpful. English Major minor caver
2. Immigrants to the West Indies - Thanks to All [1]
Wow...:0) Thanks to everyone who has given me a wealth of information to go by.... I really really appreciate it. Now I really have my work cut out for me. I mentioned to one person that I really thought that I thought it would take me about a year two at the most to get all my research done ---- boy was I wrong.....I haven't yet begun to scratch the surface. Thanks to all again Regards Ronnie
3. Re: HILLIARD/NOELL - Barbados & England [1]
Ernest, I think we've talked before? Didn't you go caving in the Rockies when you were younger. It nice to hear from you again! Come caving in Idaho in the Spring! What I have on Thomasine Hilliard is that her father was William and from Fleet Street in London. No other information, except that I assume Thomasine married Thomas on Barbados because when he left Bristol, he had a wife name Elizabeth Spencer. I think they married about 1654, but dont know if it was in England, Barbados, or Surinam. I do
4. Immigrants to the West Indies [1]
Dear Listers: Is there a website where one might venture to find folks who travelled, deported to or just simply ran off for a new life. Looking for ships, schooners, etc that may have gone through the west indies (or may have been known as the caribbean also) during the early 1700s through the 1800s. I have tried in vain for months to figure out where our ancestors truly came from. There is a toss up between England, Ireland and Scotland. Names we are researching are as follows: LAKE, CRAWFORD, HUGH

"With small typeset and pages at least 8.5 x 11 (three columns per page) there are well over 100,000 names per book and several (over 4) million names in total to research." OH MY GOODNESS. Thanks every so much for the information. I guess I have my work cut out for me. I really thought my research would have taken a year - two at the most boy was I wrong. Thanks Ronnie Smith
7. Re: Lorraine or Louvain [0.981547]
I remember years back seeing a biography of the Prince Phillip and the Battenbergs in which it stated that the founder of the line was a Knight known as the Lion of Louvain.
8. Re: Lorraine or Louvain [0.981547]
Dear Robin - You are indeed efficient - That makes a great genealogist - To look for the naturalization papers is a natural - and yes! I come up with Louvain, Brussels, after a statement by someone on the Internet explaining land division after an armed conflict and locating Louvain in Belgium through Google. I did not try Louvain in the Netherlands. Looking for your comments on my previous message - Regards - Richard.

10. Re: searching for family [0.981547]
Having made a post here, I would suggest that the next best step would be to post your name/s to the Caribbean Surname Index. It's the only list of Caribbean surnames available to persons researching present-day, recent or ancient family history and seeking to establish contacts with possible lost relatives. http://www.candoo.com/surnames/index.html Submission Form: http://www.candoo.com/surnames/transactions.htm ----- Jodolores@aol.com wrote: > > Searching for family named Delbarrio from Kingst
11. Re: Cerf [0.981547]
Dear Robin - What is also interesting is that Henry Cerf, supposedly Jewish, married in the parish (Church of England) church - after all his children had grown - if it is a Jamaican thing I am not aware. The rationale here escapes me as perhaps it is better late than never! Marcus Deby's name could have become more "anglicized" after leaving Belgium. That Maximilian Joseph is a "nephew" still leaves the relationship or connection open between him and his uncle Henry - with different last names we h
12. Re: Cerf [0.981547]
Dear Robin - You are doing a great job for the cause - That would be great if you went to Blanding - I did not realize that it was so far away - Would it be possible for you to make and get a copy of the Amelia Cerf diary. Amelia was married to Marc Julien DeBy - from Belgium. It will certainly be interesting to see what you receive from Eloise Hendricks - which I am sure you will share with the interested entourage. Haroon should be able to expand on the Lewis family -- which have been indicated a

Hi Cindy, Interesting that you should mention BEQUIA. I did an internet search for SPRING ESTATE and there is one on Bequia which has been there from the pre-1800's. I wonder if this is the one the Gordons' used to own???

15. LYNCH, Barbados and Caribbean - periodic post. [0.981547]
Hi... Just my periodic query for connections on any LYNCH who may have travelled from/to Barbados or any other Caribbean Island. In the face of my "brick wall" about 1800, I have accumulated what amounts to a surname study for the region and have some 2000 entries for LYNCH and family, including a wealth of HONYCHURCH family members, mainly for Barbados and Antigua, but including Trinidad and others. Please contact me if one of your LYNCH ancestors arrived from (or may have gone to) one of the Caribbean

17. Valentine Morris [0.981547]
Yup Cod, Valentine Morris, Morris Valentine....... what mother would name her son, Valentine?! So, now that you've hinted at the disgrace Valentine got into, would you be so kind (so to speak) to tell all? I'm all ears on the Valentine tale? And don't you know anything about Briscoe Estate - it was in Jamaica (late 1700's)?????? thanks, Cindy (up here where the trees are red and orange and the nights are downright cold)
18. masons [0.981547]
Thought I'd put this out there before, but perhaps, not........ it's not St. Lucie, but St. Vincent; and seeing how they were acquired at the same time, the King's wishes may have been the same. Written by the King's Surveyor, James Simpson in May of 1765: "...With respect to Garden and Provision ground for Clergymen and Schoolmasters, a place for a Free Masons Lodge, for an Hospital for the use of the Island, exercising ground for the Militia, and a Botanic Garden, we will reserve Lands which may be
19. "Pauper" Burial [0.981547]
I have seen a burial entry from Anglican church records on St. Vincent dating from 1839 for a probable relative of mine who is described as a "pauper." I know what this means literally, but I am unsure of what it implies. From what I have read about the era, it would seem that there is an implication he was white (which would be interesting, since the rest of the family at this time is described as "coloured"). I would think that for someone who was not white, particularly right after the abolition

22. Re: BUCHAN; St Vincent, 1800 [0.981547]
Just this week I found in an old protestant cemetary list a grave (or owner for a grave) by the name James Buchan. The cemetary was opened in about 1810, the list of graves is from around 1860. The grave is grave no. 5, which is in the very first row, no further information. The grave does not exist any more now. Curagao was british until about 1813, I think. Do you have a death for your James Buchan? I cannot check when this James Buchan died, because there is no information available here for this period.

25. Re: Immigrants to the West Indies [0.981547]
Can someone explain to me the process needed for immigrants headed for Greneda if the subjects were British and Portuguese? Also... when a document says "British subject through parents" of course that means that these parents directly were British subject... But what about the parents before this if one was thought to be Portugues and/or both......yet are later listed as British subjects? In other words,,, if these parents lineages went back to early 1800's ....what were the requirements t
