I am looking for both ancestors and descendants of Philip FRANCIS b 29 Jan 1863 who married Margaret DOUGLAS. Philip was in the British Army and returned to Jamaica to marry Margaret in 1892/3. They had 8 children between 1893 and 1908

Su – b 9 June 1893

Pet – b 27 Sept 1895

Lucille Vetura - b 2 July 1898. married Richard SHAW. Had at least one daughter Rose

Edgar –b 27 March 1900

Annie –b 22 Jul 1901 ( or 1907). Married Joseph LYN. Had 2 boys and a girl. The girl died very young and Sam also died but Tom is alive, although not so well, and living in Toronto.

Maud (Nancy) – b 26 Dec 1902

Indiana (Indie) – b 11 Sept 1905. married a Mr RANGER and had 2 children, ENID b 1931 and VILMA b 1930 but had 3 others before marriage with two different fathers, ETHEL b 1928 and LENVAL b 1929 by Mr TAYLOR and VELETIA b 1925 by James EDWARDS who was of Indian descent and his original name was Parshad CHULAN SINGH.

James (Radyii Whitwell Martindale ) – b 4 Nov 1908

The family lived in POINT HILL St Catherine until Philip died around 1910-12 when they went to live with a Douglas cousin in BIRDS HILL St Catherine.

I would be grateful for any information anyone can find or point me in the right direction.


Many thanks for your time
