Hello,

I hope that everyone is well.

I have hit a brick wall in my research and I'm hoping that someone on the
list serve might be able to help me.

I am looking for any information on the ancestors, descendants or relatives
of Thomas Shade a tabaconnist who was living in Fenchurch London in the
early 1800s. He had two brothers and a sister. I don't know anything about
the sister however the two brothers Walter and William died late 1700s early
1800s. How they died I don't know but they were living in the Caribbean on
the Island of Carriacou a dependency of Grenada.

I know that the Shades are from Scotland and I also know that the planters
of Carriacou had hired Scottish ship builders to build sloops for them
and many ended up settling in Carriacou. My great-grandmother was Agnes
Shade and she was born in Carriacou in the middle of the 1800s.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to tell me anything
and or give me some pointers because I'm not getting very.

Thanks and all the best for 2008!
