Season's Greetings, Listbuds, I know I am a few days early for the January 2008nRoll Call, but I have time between Christmas and New Year's to do some research so thought I would ask. Anyone have information or leads on the ancestry of the following families in Barbados? A. Henry Downes and wife, Anne Tempro (I don't have their years, but they are the parents of my gggrandmother Elizabeth Downes (1831-1913) of New Castle, St. John, Barbados B. Henry Taitt (born around 1800) and wife Clarista Downes (they are parents of my gggrandfather Thomas Henry Taitt (1829-1914) of Foster Hall, St. Joseph, Barbados. THTaitt married EDownes. C. Quaco Braithwaite (witness to my ggparents' marriage, William Thomas Hunt and Mary Elvira Manning, nee Callendar, both 29 years old in 1867) wedding in St. Luke's in St Joseph, Barbados. D. Quamin Brathwaite and Elizabeth____, parents of Anna Maria Brathwaite, born 1849 in St. Phillips, Barbados. Were these two men related, the first born on a Wednesday, and the other born on a Saturday according to their names? E. John Gregory Hunt and wife Sarah Anne, married 1837, parents of my ggrandfather, William Thomas Hunte, born 1838 (JGHunt named as parent on WTHunte's marr. cert.). One witness was a Joseph Edward Small, possibly????some relationship to Sarah Anne???? F. James Edward Callendar and Georgiana Worrell, marr Feb. 8, 1838, parents of my ggrandmother, Mary Elvira Callendar. One witness was John Lewis Worrell, possibly????a relation to Georgianna??? G. Thomas Ottley, father of Joseph Ethelbert Ottley (born in Tobago in 1871, died in Trinidad in 1824). Thomas could have been born anytime bet 1811-1855. My dad's cousin, when she was alive and an old woman, (born 1907) remembered him when she was a school child around 10 as a "very old man". She used to get books from the library weekly and read them to him. He could have been born in Saint Vincent or Barbuda or Grenada or in Tobago itself, we just don't know. I have found 3 Thomases, but 2 I have not been able to connect to Tobago or to Joseph. 1. Thomas Alexander Ottley born 28 Jan 1848 in Saint Vincent, son of Thomas Ottley (1812-1851) and Eliza "Peggy" Mackie (born ca. 1818) 2. Thomas Gary Ottley born in Barbuda in the 1840s and migrated to Tobago as a teenager, married to an O'Keefe from Tobago. 3. Thomas Alexander Ottley born 26 October 1853 in Saint Vincent, son of George and Elizabeth (domestics) Thanks, Nevilla E. Ottley in Maryland USA
