Kendall and Sancho?   I admit; I confess I need to be enlightened. I need to  know how Cousin Maude is related to Muriel Sancho. I thought it was perhaps courtesy of the pattern of behavior of the people of the past in the rural district. Cousin Marie Luke-Austin told me; Theophilus Augustus Luke (1867-1957) is her father. Theophilus Augustus Luke (1867-1957) told his children that Cousin Maude   and Cousin Birdie   are his relatives….   She does not recall the exact nature of the relationship. Adelaide Sancho (Abigail Sancho) is her paternal grandmother… Susan Giles (Susannah Giles) is the mother of Adelaide Sancho (Abigail Sancho). Louis O. Nestor told me Robert Alexander Kendall is his great great grandfather Charles Oliver Kendall is his great grandfather George Robins Kendall (?-1934) and Dora Ramsey are parents of Thomas Alexander Kendall (married Nora Rutherford) William Mortimer  Kendall (married Muriel Wills) ...

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 Sa...

Is Edward Charles Sancho also the name of the spouse of Betsy Ann (nee Barry) Sancho?   Richmond Barry is also her immediate relative.  Was  Edward Sancho a Member of Council of the Local Authority of Rose Hall Village District, 1918?   How is Edward Sancho related to  Haile Sancho, Sarah Sancho, Muriel Sancho, Jane Sancho, George Sancho, Joseph Sancho, Marjorie Sancho, Beatrice Sancho and Oscar Sancho of Rose Hall Village, Corentyne Coast, Berbice, and Neighbor" Sancho? What is the legal name of of Neighbor Sancho? He is the father of Patrick Sancho. Edward Sancho was also a stray catcher on the lower Corentyne Coast. Patrick Sancho was known as Killa;   A.

Bertrand Aaran Abrams (1929-1969).  An Unsung Guyanese Patriot “On July 21, 1954, the plaintiff was convicted by the magistrate of the East Demerara Judicial District for being on June 10, 1954, in possession of prohibited publications contrary to s. 4 of the Undesirable Publications (Prohibition of Importation) Ordinance, and fined $25 or one month’s imprisonment in default. The complaint was filed on June 30, 1954, and made returnable for July 7, 1954.”  “As the appeal against your conviction has been abandoned and the fine paid, I have to inform you that, in accordance with the ruling of the Law Officers for the breach of the emergency regulations, you are dismissed from your post as a Cl.

  This Sancho has set his sights, his focus on two Sanko traders; Bubakara Sanko and Alimami Brima Konkori Sankoh. This Sancho believes either Bubakara Sanko of Cunnia or Alimami Brima Konkori Sankoh (b. Melakori - d. 1817), ruler of Port Loko, 1806 – 1817,  is possibly ancestors and/or immediate relatives of Tuckness Sancho and Bentick Sancho  in the African experience. This Sancho believes Tuckness Sancho and Bentick Sancho are not their original names. This Sancho believes Tuckness Sancho and Bentick Sancho were Muslims. This Sancho believes Tuckness Sancho and Bentick Sancho resided at Saindugu, Port Loko, Sierra Leone.
