Hi Cindy, You saw these memorials where? in the bequia anglican church? I didn't have this information so I have taken note of these people and hope that they tie in somehow. But if they didn't mix with the blacks at that time then they probably don't. I actually also found my grandfather's Hazell niece still living on Mustique so I've got to chat with her before it's too late. My source that led me to her says she is a wealth of information. She may be able to fill in some blanks for me. She should be in her 70s-80s now. I've been going crazy just trying to figure out who was the father of my great great grandfather Henry (George) Hazell. His baptizm appears on the slave list for July 31, 1831. His mother was a woman named Rachael and their owner was J.P. Hazell or could it be John L. Hazell. Funny thing is, Henry was baptized with the surname George. Hmmmmmm...makes me wonder what was really going on here. I have a type written copy of the original, so there could have been a typo in the middle initial for John Hazell. I'm going to see what information I can find in the London Slave Registry. When Cyril and Sydney Adams went to Philly to see their grandfather in 1914, that's the first and last I've bumped into anything concerning Henry George Hazell. He would have been 83 yrs old at the time. I'll let you know what returns I get from the T71. Yes, I did get the name Giraud from you. I remembered it and although it was a long shot, I thought I'd put it out there to Aline in Guadeloupe. I hate this groping in the dark feeling I'm experiencing right now, but I guess it's part of the territory. Wish I was living in London. The people at the PRO would get tired of seeing me.(smile) Thanks, Cheryl *************************************** Hi Cheryl, Did you get Giraud (Grenada) from me or are you on to something new? Also Carpenter Street is all I have for you .... I'd get a phone book and look up Adams, Hazell and Ollivierre and see if any of them have a Carpenter Street address. It was an Adams that gave me that info. If I see him in a couple of weeks I'll inquire further. In the meantime, I'm sure you have this, but I wrote it down anyway (Anglican Church, Bequia): In Loving Memory of John Hercules Hazell who died at the Island of Mustique. 22nd November 1886, and was buried at St. Georges Cathedral, Kingstown, aged 70. In Memoriam Hecules Hazell who died in September 1833 at the age of 84 years, and Elizabeth, his wife, we're among the early settlers in this island. Their son, Hercules Hazell died in September 1848 aged 63 years. and with his parents is buried in this Churchyard. Elizabeth, his wife, died in August 1869, aged 83 years and is buried in St. Georges Churchyard, Kingstown. This tablet is erected to their memory by John H. Hazell in 1876. IF you do the math, Hercules Hazell was born 1749 - won't be on these islands. Hope there's something new here. best wishes, Cindy _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Hi Cheryl, It was not at all unusual for some-one to carry a personal birth name and have a different one given at Baptism. This also happened in the British Colonies and right up to the 1920's and 30's. My father, my mother and my aunt found that they had different personal names at birth and christening when they applied for passports in the 60's.
