Hi Robert, I really am not sure if the following will be of use to you but it is worth having a look at. Seems to be that some family's that had Liverpool - West Indies ties donated letters and documents to the Liverpool Archives/Library.  This seems to have happened during the mid 1950's, an example is the Parker family papers, they cover a lot of 'ground'.  Much of which is partly available online.   The down side of it is the Liverpool A/L is due for major renovations starting very soon, if not already started.   Most if not all the collection is being rehoused for the duration. Also, have you tried the NAA or done an eBooks search for information?   Hope this turns out to of use to you.   Regards,   Ruth (looking for info re Gilbert Robertson of Kiltearn Plantation) --- On Tue, 15/6/10, Robert Clarke <musicart@anneclarke.com.au> wrote: From: Robert Clarke <musicart@anneclarke.com.au> Subject: [Carib] Tarleton estates To: CARIBBEAN@rootsweb.com Received: Tuesday, 15 June, 2010, 8:21 PM Hello listers I am interested in finding out details of the Tarleton family estates in the 18th century.  The Tarleton family of Liverpool, England operated considerable trading enterprises, including a major role in the slave trade.

Hi Rory: I know you probably want to have a copy yourself, but Jamaica's Part in the Great War has been microfilmed by the LDS and can be brought in to your nearest Family History Centre from Salt Lake. It's on two fiche and I know that my FHC here in Brampton, Ontario, keeps fiche indefinitely so you shouldn't have to worry about it going back. Hope that helps!

Hello Nivard, Thank you for your reply. Any informaiton is a great help especially about Thomas Sturge Williams. The only information I had about him was from the 1891 census and a snippet from a letter his sister Margaret Williams wrote in 1936 from the Gold Coast. Thomas (1874-1918) Edward Hewett (1878-1954) Philip Ewart (1882-1952) Williams all served in during WWI. They were the sons of Rev. Philip and Sarah Eliza Hewett Williams. Sarah Eliza Hewett (1849-1892) was a grandaughter of Rev. Thomas Burchell. According to the Margaret Williams' letter, Thomas died of malaria,after the war in Mesopotamia. My information about the Sherwood Foresters comes from the wedding article (naturally not dated) or their sister Lillah Williams (1888-1957)to Cadet Eric Edward Harden, Royal Garrison Artillery. Captain E.H. Williams Sherwood Foresters is mentioned as a guests. The only other information about him is from the 1891 and 1901 census where he is listed as teacher in London. He died in 1954 in Fordingridge, Southhampton. I'll contact the person you mentioned and ask if he might have some information. Thank you again for the leads and information.

Rory, I looked up Pennymead <http://www.pennymead.com> which is a great West Indies site for Books, Postcards and Stamps. But I did not see "Jamaica's Part in the Great War" by Frank Cundall, although several of his other books were listed. Also checked ABE Books, ABE <http://www.abebooks.com/> but although a lot of Cundall Books, not the one you want. I think if you put your wish list into either of these places, they will try to find one. They are the best 2 Historical Jamaican Book sellers, I have found.

Hello, I just managed to get a copy of the catalogue for the Beinecke Collection at Hamilton College in New York State. They do appear to have letters by Christopher Jeaffreson. In the catalogue the listing is in the Manuscript section and is listed as M3 Jeaffreson, Christopher, fl. 1675-1749 (d. before 7 June 1749). Cathy

Thanks, Laura I believe that Google has digitised "A Young Squire of the 17th Century", containing Colonel Jeaffreson's diary It is long out of print, but when I was in the UK I borrowed a copy from Suffolk County Library.through the interlibrary loan service. The first batch of settlers on St Kitts were all from Framlingham in Suffolk..

The Beinecke Lesser Antilles Collection at Hamilton College appears to have his letters. There's a book by that name on Google books for those who can view them. Happy hunting in June, all.

I have some onformation on Christopher Jeaffreson d 1725 who had a connection with St Kitts. Any interest in further info?

There is available an interesting book entitled "100 Years' History of the 2nd West India Regiment, 1795-1892" by J E Caulfield, ISBN 9781845743192. I was hoping it would mention my 3xGreat Grandfather, Paymaster Captain Richard Nosworthy - it didn't but many officers are named and it's a good pointer to where the regiment was deployed at different times. My local library bought in a copy specially for me, so if you live in the UK and want to borrow it, ask your library to contact Wrexham for an inter-library loan! -- Jenny "I always like to have the morning well-aired before I get up."

Thank you very much Madeleine: the Hon.
