Hi,
   Rachel was the ggg grandmother of my OH. I have very little info. on her before her marriage to Robert Laurie. According  to her death cert. she was born c 1800 in Barbados her father Issac .
What has always puzzled me is how she arrived in London married a Scotsman and was in Leith near Edinburgh in 1818 where she gave birth to her first child.
I have not very much info. on Robert no death cert . or wills for either Rachel or him.
I would be very willing to exchange any information if it helps you further your research.
