Bentick Sancho and his descendants Sancho of Trinidad and Tobago

Dear Sir/Madam
I am interested in Sancho family history and Sancho family tree. Therefore, I am also interested in accessing the information found on the certificates of births, marriages, and deaths of numerous persons surname, Sancho and the members of the kinship of Sancho connected to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The aim is to link Sancho of Trinidad and Tobago to Bentick Sancho and his descendants and relatives. Therefore is it possible to look up data for John Sancho? I don’t have accurate information respecting the events of his life – birth, marriage, and death. I believe John Sancho was birthed in the 1840s. The event quite possibly occurred at Buxton or Friendship or Paradise on the East Coast of Demerara. I also believe John Baptiste Sanco who is said to have died on February 17, 1920 is indeed John Sancho, son of Bentick Sancho. It is said John Sancho died in the Fifth Company Village, Moruga. It is understood, the remains of John Sancho and that of Mary Elizabeth Sancho, his wife, are interred at the cemetery of St. Stephen’s Anglican,  the Church at Princes Town in Trinidad. I believe Mary Elizabeth Sancho, the wife of John Sancho, died on November 30, 1928. Is it at all possible to access the events the vital records of births, marriages and deaths of Lindsey Sancho, Violet Sancho, and Philmore Sancho? Who could point me to Sancho of St. Vincent and especially those who emigrated to Trinidad and Tobago? I suppose Sancho people are Temne people of Sierra Leone. They were enslaved at the Bentinck Estate in St. Vincent. Whence Sancho migrated to the colony of Demerary and to Trinidad.
I am hoping the information could and will be found within your institution or elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago. Will you please forward to officials who are likely to assist; positively?
Most respectfully,
Allick Sancho
