Not sure of the spelling of the 2nd name. Post-1950.
Trying to help someone locate these people.
 Swaby (female) ? Raberansingh (spelling?) (male)
Locations Portland, Trelawny and San Fernando.

Thank you

Post - 1950 - Are these people likely to still be alive?

Where did the death date come from?  No death in 2004 under her surname & no death for a Sheila with that birthdate under any other surname

Her descendant is starting to compile a tree. The dates have only just gone up. We share some DNA so I'm trying to help. The (amended) surname Ramberansingh is denoted as still living. Thank you for looking.

Until confirmation of that death is obtained - those details should not be included in any tree as they will cause confusion.

Using just that birthdate and no names - there is no match in 2004

Her "descendant" can only be one of her children or a grandchild so surely they know when & where she died?  Given her birthyear - she can only have married in the 1960's onwards

I won't give any details of sex - did they have a child in 1968 ? - if so - also married and has a child - maybe all answers should be by PM ???
