Hi, does anyone have anything on my great great great great grandmother from Barbados. I'm struggling to get any information due to me being in England and relatively new to this.

Many thanks
:-)

What are you hoping for?

When was the lady born?

Have you looked to see if anyone has her in their trees on here?
When was she born, and how did you work your way back to her?
Thanks

As with your other post about Barbados, try the IGI.......

Hi, sorry I didn't give much information. I've got Keturah's dates as 1768-1852, but these may be plus or minus a couple of years. She was married to William Murray. That's an interesting entry Reggie, Keturah's son William married a Pilgrim, so it could be their daughter?

Thanks for that information.
