don't believe the ads - St Vincent and Dominica are both filled with shanty towns - no infrastructure - the people are poverty stricken |

can't find a trace of either of them = in Scotland or St Vincent - odd thing is there are a lot of Spence's in the Isle of Man where you say he drowned |

I have been looking for my gr. grandfathers birth for 3 years now, his name was Benjamin West Spence born 4th aug 1860, so it says on the family birthday book, but doesnt say where, he was a merchant sailor the ships he was on stated that he came from st. vincent's, and his marriage to annie Wotherspoon in Stevenston Ayrshire states that his parents were John Spence and Ann Louisa Brown both dec'd, the newspaper cutting of his marriage stated he was the son of John Spence merchant St. Vincent's, I have been in touch with Scotland People, no marriage of his parents and no birth of him, so I persume he was born in St. Vincent's although they say no such a person, this is where I thought shirley could help as the niece marion of annie Spence, Annie was the wife of Benjamin, and he was drowned in 1893 of the isle of man |
