Does anyone have a data base for Brits who had children baptised/registered in Jamaica during the above period?

I have found several births that are possibly linked to my family; on FamilySearch;  but it only gives the father's name and not the mothers in all instances.  The father's name is consistent with my records but I cannot be sure until I see the mothers name.

It's a shame when mother's name is not recorded. I think there are Jamaican records on FindMyPast, but they might not give you more information.
Do you want to post names here, in case someone can find more information?

Very welcome to have this information on Jamaica.  Thank you so much.  Will take me a while to go thru it all but it seems very comprehensive and will be a huge help with my research.  :)
