Hello there, Does anyone know if the Rose family that is being researched here has connections to Guyana?? Our first Governor Gneral in 1966 was Sir David Rose, and his family had a long history in Demerara, Just wondering, Joan Seymour Joan T.Seymour, Consultant Kristy Willoughby wrote: > Hi all, > Alastair has very kindly deciphered the copy of Right Hon George Rose's will that I ordered some time back.

There are some Rose wills connected with Guyana at the PRO; I have them, and have pursued a few leads on the assumption that they are related to my Rose ancestors in Bequia/St. Vincent but haven't been able to establish that definitely.? The names I recall are John Bennet Rose and Alexander Rose.? One of them died in Demerara; I forget which.? They appear to have been Scots, as my Roses were. I don't know anything about Sir David Rose, and am not sure if he's connected with either set of Roses but would be interested to know more about his family connections in Demerara. -----Original Message----- From: Joan Seymour <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 9:45 am Subject: Re: Hon George ROSE Hello there, Does anyone know if the Rose family that is being researched here has connections to Guyana??
