Hello Beverley, welcome to Rootschat. As Sunflower says we do need more information.
Can you tell us- is your Grandma Helen still alive?
Do you know the name of your great gran from Sligo?
Do you think Jimmy was a nickname. Or could he have been James Trickett? Did he die in WW1.
Now if your grandma Helen is no longer with us, can you give us her maiden name?

Sorry  to be asking a lot of questions, but these are really basic things we need to do searches.
The usual way is to start with what you know for certain.
Your birth certificate
Your parents marriage certificate
Your parents birth certificates, and build your way up the tree.

If you check on here for Helen Trickett birth, there are very few births. Do you think she was born abroad?

There is a James Charles Trickett buried in this cemetery in the 1930's but he was not a Major.
There is a death for him on Ancestry  in the Jamaican BMDs for 1938, but I do not have world membership== I hope someone reading this does and can have a peek==please.

IJimmy or James  trickett was my great uncle,I know is medals were in Nottingham castle,went when I was younger attached a photo of my grt grandfather and grandmother, ,

So are you saying that both your great grandfather nicknamed Jimmy and your great uncle named Jimmy are both buried in Jamaica?

"No my  grandmother is no longer alive,yes I think it was a nick name Jimmy ,and my mum told me he died of Leukemia in the first world war, and is buried in Jamaica,"
"IJimmy or James  trickett was my great uncle,I know is medals were in Nottingham castle,"

Or just that your great uncle Jimmy - who's medals were in Nottingham Castle was buried in Jamaica, and that you know your great granddad died during WW1 and you do not know where he was buried?

I think you have got to look for your grandmothers marriage certificate ,if your grandfather is deceased you can put his name on here.
