1) I don't think that Jamaican birth certificates are available online anywhere. Some Jamaican baptism records appear on the LDS site, www.familysearch.org

2) Ancestry has records of incoming passengers to the UK in the 1881's. Who is it that you are looking for?

I don't know about Jamaican birth certificates but there are some Jamaican baptism and marriage records on Familysearch.
There are incoming passenger lists to UK 1878-1960 on Ancestry. You could ask for a look-up.

thanks so much.
can't find baptism records online anywhere - do you have any idea where i may get a paper copy?
i will ask for a look up.
I'm looking for WILLIAM HENRY KING born c1850 in New Orleans, living in NYC between 1870-1880 where he was married to ADDIE KING. By 1890 he was in London.

Thanks! x

Unfortunately there does not appear to be a record of a William King arriving in the UK between 1880~1890.

This site may be helpful in your search for Jamaican records:
