From my experience with Scottish monumental inscriptions, it is possible that your John Renton could be mentioned on a family gravestone, even if he died in Jamaica. It could be worth a look at transcriptions of Berwick upon Tweed MI's.

John Renton /Profession Merchant/ Residence Jamaica If anyone has any connection or could guide me as to where to look to find out more about said John Renton Merchant. I have copied two sheets of this roll so if anyone has a Berwick upon Tweed connection around that area your ancestor may appear. Some of the names are Dickson, Allan, Pearson, Dunlap, Hunter, Nesbitt, Marshall, Brown etc. Pam ______________________________
