Sancho of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

 Sancho of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Please link Sancho family researchers with the relatives of the Sancho females of Berlin Street, in  Layou,  Saint Vincent.  It is understood Sancho females resided next to the Methodist church on Berlin Street, in  Layou,  in Saint Vincent.  It is possible, Henrietta Sancho and Lydia (Shallow) Sancho, Gladys Thomas, and Wilhelmina (Quashie) Scarborough of Berlin Street, in Layou, are relatives of the descendants of Bentick Sancho and Tuckness Sancho. Therefore, by this means Sancho family researchers are requesting you point them to family historians and other knowledgeable people,  respecting the relatives of Sancho of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Sancho family researchers need to learn who are Sancho people of Trinidad and Saint Vincent.  More, importantly, Sancho family researchers need to ascertain who they really are.
    1. Is it possible,  to link Sancho with the relatives of Lincoln Hinds, William Hinds, Felicia Brown, Adella Sancho, Rachael Hinds of Taylor Town, Mary Sancho of New Adelphi, Donald Cambridge of Back Street, Layou;  Rita Cottle, Henrietta Sancho and Lydia (Shallow) Sancho, Gladys Thomas, and Wilhelmina (Quashie) Scarborough of Berlin Street, in Layou, and Luburd Sancho? 
    2. Is Sancho Lyttle a member of the kinship of Sancho of Saint Vincent? 
    3. How do Donald Cambridge, businessman and iconic figure in Layou relate to the  Sancho females of Berlin Street, Layou? 
    4. How does Donald Cambridge, and Rose Cambridge-Hypolite relate to each other?  
    5.  What is the current name for Taylor Town? 
    6. Who do you recommend Sancho family researchers consult soonest?  
Sancho family researchers need to know and not believe.  Please point Sancho family researchers to our people familiar with Brown and Hinds of Taylor Town, Sancho, Hinds, Cambridge, Hypolite, Cottle, Shallow,  Thomas, Quashie, and Scarborough and their related families in Saint Vincent.  
Please link Sancho family researchers with family historians and historians of Spring Village, Chateaubelair, Layou, Adelphi, and Troumaca, and with the congregants of Methodist and Spiritual Baptist in Saint Vincent – soonest.
Also, please circulate this inquiry to your relatives  and other people of Saint Vincent.
Thanks for your time, tolerance, energy and cooperation.

Luke-Sancho

It is a given not every person surnamed Luke and/or members of the kinship of Luke are descendants of Sancho. The aim of this exercise is to identify the members of the kinship of Sancho. This effort is focused primarily on the immediate relatives of Mrs. Adelaide Sancho-Luke. However, it would be totally illogical not to recognize the possibility that there are likely other links among the people of Luke and Sancho, other than that of David Luke and Adelaide Sancho.
This is part of the up-hill task of accounting for all of the members of the kinship of Sancho, as accurately as humanly possible.
Your input will be greatly appreciated. You are hereby asked to share your knowledge of our people, and/or to point us to sources of information; whereby persons connected to the primary ancestor will be identified. Thanks for your time, tolerance and cooperation.
Whenever you have pertinent information will please share with researchers? Email: nabaclisman@gmail.com

Dispenser Seymour and his generations at Wakenaam

Tue, Jul 8, 2014, 3:25 PM
I am interested in linking with Seymour family of WAKENAAM. This family group includes; Camilla Angelita Seymour , Francis Aloysius  Seymour, Harry Aloysius Seymour, Juliana Kowsilla Seymour,  Radika Seymour
it is possible Bruce Adrian Seymour, Rosanne Vanessa Seymour, Sharon Seymour and Shervington Seymour of  Good Intent West Bank Demerara and Tifon Mariela Seymour and Cecil Seymour Cecil Best West Coast Demerara are also numbered amongst this group of Seymour people.
This Sancho needs to be made aware of the accounts which were handed down by Dispenser Aloysius Stanislaus Seymour to his generations respecting his relationship to the kinships of Callighan, Christopher and Sancho....
childrenofsancho@gmail.com


Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 2:39 PM
I am aware Francis Seymour has a sister named Lillian Seymour. She married the Village barber James ‘Dood’ Trotman.  Elvis Trotman is a son of James Dood Trotman and Lillian Seymour.
There are perhaps as many as fourteen (14) of them. I have (12) names.  I don't have the names of the parents of your grandfather Francis Seymour. I think Francis was a fisherman. He resided at Bush Corner. I think three (3) of his children are Desmond, Sydney and Yvette Seymour. I think his wife is a Miss McRae from Paradise. I also think Lillian is the name of the mother of Frances, Lillian, Emily, Doris, Millicent and the other members of the family.

"To understand, it is necessary first to know.” ... Winifred Ivy (Thierens) Gaskin (1916-1977) daughter of Buxton-Friendship District.

“... I have no argument with exponents and lovers of modern style art or poetry. How could I really? “The old order changeth giving place to the new”. On that score I have they have none with me.”

“It is because 'Lines and Rhymes' speak for themselves that I am not afraid of their public exposure.” ...Thomas Anson Sancho (1932-2004) Georgetown, British Guiana, Wednesday, February 14, 1962.

Letters of Lammy Tuckness Sancho


This is part of the sense of gratitude I feel for a number of relatives. Thus this effort is dedicated to the lives and in loving memory of my most beloved ancestor, Muriel Eleese Burchelline Sancho (1914-1990), the daughter of Alexander Gustavus Sancho (1873-1945), the son of Lambert Tuckness Sancho (1849-1924), my brother Colin Patrick Ross (1954-1981), Aunt Elsa Sancho (1908-1966), Uncle Oswald Sancho (1922-1984), and my beloved Cousins Gwendolyn Ralph (1912-2008), and Brenda Abrams (1941-2008), the daughters of Emma Francina Ralph (1880-1918) and Eileen Esme Abrams (1899 -1966), the daughters of Lambert Tuckness Sancho (1849-1924), Baiya Sharper (1915-1977), and Sheila Sharper (1925-1977), son and daughter of Edith Sancho (1890-1952), the daughter of Lambert Tuckness Sancho (1849-1924). 
These two letters written by Lambert Tuckness Sancho (1849-1924) afford me and other relatives the opportunity to glimpse at his thought process, academic abilities, intellect, ideology and his advocacy. It is remarkable to note that the struggle in the last two decades of the nineteenth century bears strikingly similarities to the struggle in the twentieth and twentieth-first centuries. I am ecstatic. I am proud of the efforts of my great-grandfather. I am also happy to note the coconut rarely falls far from the tree. The letters could have been written by me. They reflect a mind set which is of the consciousness and the advocacy of the struggles of the underprivileged working class people of the colony of British Guiana. Long live Tuckness Sancho, long live the people of Sancho everywhere.

 THE VILLAGERS GRIEVANCES: A CONTRADICTION - TO THE EDITOR: “DAILY CHRONICLE”

Sir, - Permit me through this medium of your columns to make a few remarks with reference to certain statements, contained in a letter published in your issue of the 28th inst., bearing the signature of “Not a Villager”.
Whoever this person may be he asserts that the lease of the Golden Grove empolder “did not make proper efforts to thoroughly put into order the dams which he had already seen were not trust-worthy,” and further on, that it was owing to the slip-shop manner in which the dam was made up. Now these statements are quite untrue. I, as, Village Overseer, have actually paid to labourers for working at the said dam during the early part of the present year, the sum of $4,000, on behalf of Mr. Jose Ferreira, the Lessee. I had orders from the Superintendent of villages to supervise the dam aback daily, which I always did, and to show that Mr. Ferreira used every possible means to secure the dam, I will just mention this: in the month of January, “in consequence of the heavy rainfall, on going aback, I found that the dam was washed over, and this being brought to Mr. Ferreira’s notice, he lost no time in making a sniouse around the dam, and since then it resisted the pressure of water up to the time of this accident. On the 18th instant, whilst on my way to Georgetown, I received information, to my great astonishment that the dam which I had left safe had broken away, and the water was rushing with great force. I hurried to the spot and found the dam cut across in two places; one cut was ten feet in width, and the other was eight feet. I suspect that these breaches were made by some enemy of Mr. Ferreira, for there was not a leak on that spot to cause a breach. The breach in Mr. Ferreira’s empolder did not damage the other empolder at all, and the villagers have no cause of complaint. If the villagers had any grievance, or sustained any damage, they are quite intelligent enough to lay it in the proper quarter.

A VILLAGER’S SUGGESTION - TO THE EDITOR: “DAILY CHRONICLE”
Sir, - on the evening of the 24th inst., a lecture was delivered at the Golden Grove Wesleyan Chapel, by the Rev. Mr. Adams. It is very seldom that we villagers are afforded an opportunity of listening to lectures, and therefore, I was heartily glad to be present. In the rural districts when evening comes the villagers, many of whom are intelligent, have no place of resort to obtain intellectual food, and it is with a desire to impress this necessity which exists on the minds of those amongst us who are capable of doing this, that I write this letter, the villagers have nowhere to go, and wander. I would throw out the suggestion to the Rev. Mr. Tabraham, especially as he is striving hard for the Temperance cause amongst the villagers, that he would be conferring an inestimable boon on myself and the others, by treating us to a few hours’ address in the evening, of a similar character to the one Mr. Adams gave us.
Mr. Tabraham happened to meet several persons in a drunken condition on the road at Golden Grove, a few Sundays ago, and he remonstrated with them.
Mr. Tabraham would find his efforts crowned with success if he delivered periodical addresses to people.
It is of no use trying to reform a man in a drunken condition.
I am Sir, and c.,

Estelle, Nelly and Rickford Beaton relatives of James Donald Ainsworth?

Estelle, Nelly and Rickford Beaton are related to Arno and Dolphin or Ainsworth
Myrna Simon, Emerson Simon and Conrad Joseph  on People of the Past.
Baby King and Boodoo Hamilton
Baby King is Aunt Mamsel’s daughter. Miriam Oliver is the name of Aunt Mamsel.  Aunt Mamsel is a great aunt of Conrad Joseph. Aunt Mamsel was self-employed. She was an entrepreneur. She sold food items on the Demerara Railway (the trains on the East Coast of Demerara).  Adina (Auntie Teth); and Baba Forde are sisters of Aunt Mamsel.  Aunt Mamsel was married to a white man. Plummer is the name of the husband of Aunt Mamsel.  Calvin Plummer is a son. There were several others. Waveney is the name of the last child of Aunt Mamsel.  Waveney is about 86 years, old. She resided in Brooklyn and Guyana. It appears she winters in Guyana. 
Waveney is probably mother of Lynette Andrews-Archer 

The sisters resided at Beterverwagting.  They are members of the kinship of Sharper. They are somehow related to two Sharples brothers.  Lionel Sharples was employed as a cook on a cruise ship. He was light skinned in complexion. The other Sharples’ brother was dark-skinned. He was employed in the Mosquito control department of the Department of Health... The Department of Health used DDT to control the spread of disease spread by mosquitoes.

  1. Adam Gillis’s mother is related to Mary (Sharper) Beaton.
  2.  Estelle Beaton (born 1900); Nelly Beaton (born January 15, 1902); Rickford Beaton (born 1904)
  3.  George Harry is a son of Estelle Beaton. Estelle Beaton was very closely associated with Muriel Sancho. She regularly prepared delicacies for Muriel and her family when they were resident over the line at the Middle Walk at Nabaclis.
  4.  Estelle Beaton, Nelly Beaton and Rickford Beaton grew up in the household of James Donald Ainsworth.
  5.  Estelle Beaton, Nelly Beaton and Rickford Beaton are somehow related to Arno and Dolphin or Ainsworth. 
  6.  Ethel Dolphin (Mrs. James Donald Ainsworth), Leon Ainsworth, Ivor Ainsworth, Emile Ainsworth, Constance Ainsworth and Leslie Redvers Dolphin Ainsworth.  Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Dolphin, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Dolphin, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Arno.
  7.  Nelly Beaton was a teacher and later a caterer.
  8.  Frederick Simon’s sister, Baby Waldron and Gussie Lawrence were married.  The children of Baby Waldron and Gussie Lawrence are: Joseph Lawrence (Police Officer, BGPF), Lorna Lawrence, Samuel Lawrence (Police Officer, BGPF), Ivor “Boba” Lawrence (Police Officer, BGPF), Cedric Lawrence, Oscar Lawrence and Winston “Saygo” Lawrence, overseer of Victoria Belfield Village District.
  9. The mother of Frederick Simon had at least four children with four different persons. They are Frederick Simon; Baby Waldron, a relative of Stella Waldron; Lila Adams; and the mother of Baby King and George King.
  10.  Who is the Campbell ancestor of Frederick Simon? Is it his mother or father? What are the names of the parents of Frederick Simon?
Emerson Simon told me; two of his uncles resided at Golden Grove.  One of his uncles resided at waterside at Golden Grove. That would be in Bush Corner. Mavis Simon resided at Bush Corner. Thus she is likely a relative of Frederick Simon. The other resided at line top at Golden Grove. That information suggests the family of James Rodwell Simon is relatives of Frederick Simon. What’s your understanding? Who must I consult? He also stated Eardley Simon and Winslade Simon sound familiar to him. I told him they were schoolmasters. I met them in New Amsterdam when I was a very young child. However, they are sons of James Rodwell Simon of Golden Grove.
Emerson Simon also told me; Donald Ainsworth and Wally Ainsworth may have some knowledge of the relationship of Estelle Beaton, Nelly Beaton and Rickford Beaton and their ancestors, and other relatives. I must consult them. Emerson Simon was probably referring to Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Dolphin, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Dolphin, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Arno.  Please note:  Sharper is likely the common thread among 
the mother of James Donald Ainsworth and known relatives of Estelle Beaton, Nelly Beaton and Rickford Beaton.

The questions are;
  1. How Estelle Beaton, Nelly Beaton and Rickford Beaton are relatives of James Donald Ainsworth?
  2.  Do they share DNA of immediate relatives with the mother of James Donald Ainsworth?
  3. What is the exact relationship of John Sharper and Tuckness Sancho?  One has to obtain scientific information for a number of persons really do not possess similar DNA but are simply relatives by upbringing.
  4. Who must I consult respecting the relatives of the people mentioned herein?
