I don't know if you are a member of facebook, but there is quite a big St Helena following on there, if you pick wisely, someone over there might be able to help.

My uncle has lived there for over 30 years, 2 of his daughters are back in the UK now and are in constant contact with the island.  Unfortunately I'm no longer in contact with him otherwise I'm sure he would have done the lookups for you as he was the one who started my off on this family history lark!

Hello :)
In the past year I have been researching my family on St Helena island from the late 1600s to the early 1830s.   Joseph Alesworth married Mary Clough on St Helena in 1801.   I am under the impression that her widowed mother Sarah Clough married the widower James Renton.
I have been through all the St Helena BMD records and have found some interesting information on the Cloughs.  I wonder if you have any further information of James Renton.
