On Friday, March 20, 2009, I visited the New York Public Library, Humanities and Social Sciences (Research Division). I accessed copies of the Trinidad and Tobago year books for the years 1921 thru 1935. I paid particular attention to the obituary, which is found immediately following local events in the publications.
I made notes of the data of persons with the surnames of interest to me. At this instance I cannot locate the entire documentation.
In the yearbook for the year 1929 data is found telling readers that Mrs. Elizabeth Sancho, 92 years old died on November 30, 1928. I suppose she was born in either 1835 or 1836. (perhaps, wife of John Sancho??)
In other issues of the yearbook entries listed below are included.
Mrs. Rupert Sancho died November 13, 1924 (Possibly, Chinese-Trinidadian)
John Baptiste Sanco died February 17, 1920. (I believe data will prove this John Sancho to be perhaps too young to be an uncle of Lambert Tuckness Sancho, for I am of the impression Sancho males did not survive much longer than 72 years. Well there are always exceptions. Also I found the middle name Baptiste very interesting. I recall Jean Williams-Delwin stated Baptiste is known to be her relatives. )
Rosa Williams and Mabel Williams (licensed midwives)
Henry Hamilton Williams
Israel Elias Williams
The need is to be made aware of the identities of the persons mentioned above. Are you aware of any of the persons mentioned in this correspondence? Most relevant to me is whether they are members of the kinship of Sancho of Guyana. I suppose I could, should and must send for copies of newspapers or gazettes printed in Trinidad and Tobago issued on the dates of interest and /or in the vicinity of those dates. Perhaps, there are useful data to be found therein. What are your thoughts and/or suggestions? Share them with me soonest...
Thanks for your cooperation….
