Hello, I am trying to find records of births and marriages in Jamaica in the early with century. Haven't found them on Ancestry, MyHeritage or Familysearch.org. Where else can I look? Any help much appreciated. Susan Cater Steadman and Tonothy
Susan, FamilySearch is your best bet. I can't tell what century you mean. However, here are some if the records available there: Records BillionGraves Index 3 06 Jun 2016 Images are at a partner site Caribbean Births and Baptisms, 1590-1928 30,407 14 Mar 2012 Caribbean Deaths and Burials, 1790-1906 6,525 10 Apr 2010 Caribbean Marriages, 1591-1905 7,243 14 Mar 2012 Find A Grave Index 6,725 07 Jun 2016 Images are at a partner site Jamaica Births and Baptisms, 1752-1920 287,389 25 Feb 2013 Jamaica, Church of England Parish Register Transcripts, 1664-1880 365,639 30 Nov 2011 Images on FamilySearch Jamaica, Civil Registration, 1880-1999 3,778,173 20 Jul 2015 Images on FamilySearch The largest collection is here: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1538386 If you need earlier records then you need to resort to baptisms, marriages and burials in church records. Anglican is the dominant religion and the registers will be very similar to those in the UK.
