British Guiana Records
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 19:27 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

My 3x great uncle Henry WATSON b. 1818 in Whitehills, Banffshire, was the Administrator General of British Guiana. I am looking for information on his son, James WATSON and grandchildren as mentioned in his will (Thomas Woodman WATSON & Frances Resina (?) WATSON). I believe that his descendants remained in Guiana.

Is there any good websites/archives available where I can gain further information on these individuals.

 - many thanks

My grandmother had relatives in Georgetown, British Guiana. Try searching on Family Search (thinks that's where I found information)- put in surname and Guyana.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
