Hi Chris, I'm very sorry I found your message when I was at least 50% asleep and deteriorating rapidly. That was a great opportunity and if you get the chance to make the offer again I'd really like to know what can be found there. Particularly as it seems - as Cecilia points out - I must be a Frye descendant. There seems to be no copy of V L Oliver's History of Antigua (but there is a Caribbeana) in New Zealand in a public library or our National Library. I've just re-checked that. Six or seven years ago I rented the LDS film and after several hours at a microfilm reader decided my Irish family featured so little it was not worth the hassle. Now on a re-visit and with wider horizons I realise the within-W-I family relationships were much more involved than I'd realised. Back to your generous offer. While transcripts would be great and would be shared with the List, scans are a better use of time. However sometime soon I will rent The History of Antigua film again so I'd be grateful for a steer towards the parts likely to be of most interest. I didn't realise THoA had will transcripts in it. I've cobbled up from published sources not totally reliable trees for the following families. If these trees are of interest to anyone else I can put them on a personal website. Then it would be great if people told me where I'm wrong and where bits might be added. I only go up to the end of the 18th century thereafter being plain sailing.

Some of the Antigua families you mention (esp. Byam, Martin, Warner) are quite central to my research, as they tie in to my Barbados families the others peripheral, and I have not studied them in great detail. I dont have time to respond more fully now, as to day I am going walkabout... I attach a bit of Frye & Wyke (footnotes & sources not included) until I finish walkabout, and might be more help! Hope this is useful in the meantime. There is much more, but probably better done off-list as I think this is too long already. Ernest Wiltshire Frye Generation One 1.
