Title: How do I find records of Irish people in Demerara c1800's?
Post by: George87 on Wednesday 26 March 14 01:12 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Would anyone know how I would go about finding records of Irish people in Demerara (British Guiana) in the 1800's? Birth, death, shipping?? Or if it is even possible??

Many thanks!
