FindmyPast adds Caribbean parish records and UK naturalisation records

Amongst the records released by FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) this week:

St Vincent, St George's baptisms 1765-1820

These are records from St Vincent's most populous parish, St George, dating from 1765, offering date of baptism, name of the person baptised, and parents' names. In some cases you may also find information on parents' occupations, race, and social status (free or enslaved). The original register is now fragile and partially damaged, so the information varies record to record. The records also include the names of many enslaved people on the island, including those of mixed race.


St Vincent, St George's marriages 1765-1820

1,534 marriage records.


Britain, Naturalisations 1844-1990

Almost 100,000 records, of naturalisations granted by the British Home Office.
