    3. Glad to hear you had such positive experiences in Barbados. Lenora must be ecstatic with your discoveries on Sir Anthony! Well done! Re houses: I don't really have any idea how you might go about finding a particular house if the family no longer lives there. If the house has changed hands, the name might also have been changed. I wonder if the Post Office has some sort of list, of house names, seeing that few houses are actually numbered. With regard to Fontabelle, it was once a very lovely neighbourhood with many grand old houses, but after the Deep Water Harbour was built, it has steadily become a more industrial area, and I suspect that many of the lovely old houses have been demolished, so "The Garden" may not even exist today. "Westbury" could refer to Westbury Road, rather than the cemetery, but it might of course be the name of an old estate. Does anyone in Barbados have any idea of sources for such information?

(Houses in B'dos often have names instead of numbered addresses. Do these names change over time?)
