Hi Di, The best source for St. Vincent information is the transcriptions of the records in St. George's Cathedral, Church of England, in Kingstown, St. Vincent, BWI. The source is the LDS [Latter Day Saints] Family History Library Film # 1162485 and contains the Parish Records of St George, St Andrew and others from 1765-1870. Regarding the BMDs for PATTON/PATTEN there are 1-0-5 in the transcripts. It shows John Henry PATTEN baptized 28 Aug 1836 with his parents as Henry PATTEN, a Carpenter, (born 1811 & buried 21 Jul 1855 at age 44) and Elizabeth Harriet.

Jim Thanks for that information. I had found that reference and that, in fact, is my great grandfather and great, great grandparents. The search continues ...
