Sponsors by Proxy, Mrs. Nicholas Dowding, Lady Martha Colleton, Mrs. Catherine Dowding. 1827 Nov 24 Henrietta Elizth. Clements d. of Nicholas Clements Henry & Elizth. his wife, b Oct 20, 1827. Sponsors Wm. McMahon, Esq., Mrs. McMahon, Miss Black, by Proxy. 1831 Jan 6. Albert Charles Clements s. of Nicholas Clements Henry & Elizth. his wife, b. 23 Nov., '30 Page 93: Trinity, Palmetto Point, St. Kitts, Burials: 1829 Henrietta Elizth. Clements Henry, aged nearly 2 years. (signed) John Butler Pemberton, Rector * John Butler Pemberton, Rector I have found nothing on a Frederick and no indication that he belongs to this St. Kitts connected family, but this may give you another approach to your search. I also agree that the surname HENRY is not that common, certainly in the West Indies, and in the early records is often spelled HENERY. Your widow Elizabeth might be a DOWDING. If you can get hold of a Baronetage for the early 1800s, you might also discover just who Lady Martha COLLETON is, the Colletons (Sir Peter et al) of course being connected to the West Indies from the earliest times Good luck with your search.

In my own Barbados research I always rejoice when I find a will where the testator says something like: "In the parish of (in England) ... where I was born"! One of my Tudor forebears in the 1600s names his sister and the street she lives on in Southwark! Wonderful stuff. Here in Canada our minority right-wing government has gutted our Census on grounds of "privacy" and unless we get rid of them next election and have their stupid move reversed, future generations will not even have access to the census information that has been so invaluable to family historians. What on earth does privacy matter to us now living when the 2011 census is released in the year 2101??? And these are the same kinds of people who often reveal the most intimate details of their personal lives on internet social media! End of rant for today.
