Carriacou is today politically part of Grenada. I think in the 19th century it would have been part of the Windward Islands and records might be found from St. George's Cathedral in Kingstown, St. Vincent (which are available through the LDS centers), the administrative center of the Windward Islands. My ancestors from other islands in the Grenadines show up there, presumably because it was the nearest church of any size. I'm not sure how far the records for Grenada go but I would check there as well. My ancestors in the Grenadines were also Scots from Aberdeenshire, by the way. -----Original Message----- From: Joan Birtles <joanbirtles@bigpond.com> To: CARIBBEAN@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, Oct 20, 2010 5:49 am Subject: [Carib] William SHAW d Carriacou 1864 Dear Listers I am new to your list and hoping someone may be able to help me with any information on William SHAW who died 9 Oct 1864 aged 33, at Carriacou. William was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland 1831 to Alexander & Margaret SHAW and on his father's headstone in burial records dated July 1859 it shows that the headstone was erected by William Shaw, Grenada in memory of his father. William does not appear with his family on the 1841 or 1851 census in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Would there be any records such as newspapers, burial records or even a marriage record as perhaps William married in Carriacou, that would be available to shed some light on William's life in the Caribbean please.
