Hi Richoo

Do you think there is any connection with your guy and the OP's family?  Have asked the moderator to split yours to your own post, if there's not.

Welcome to RootsChat, BTW

To zx & richoo - research in Jamaica is not easy (been there, done that  ::) ::) )
 If your people were British expats, you may find their records at the GRO among the 'overseas' section.

Good luck!

Hi Dawn,

Thank you :)

Not sure of anything. Great father Joseph Lambert came here in late 1800"s from Jamaica. Met great grandmother, had 4 children, and the last I know is he went back by boat to Jamaica as we have a copy of his ticket.

ZX,
I found this book a good read and learned much about Jamaica. The author has also been very helpful to me.... http://aparcelofribbons.co.uk/
