SEAMEN
There are numerous references to seamen in the Jamaican Parish Registers. Many of them were undoubtedly British, some Canadian or American, but other ships would seem to be of Jamaican registry. Usually the records are for burials, but there are sometimes records of marriages and baptisms of children. Most of these children remained in Jamaica. The entries are useful not only in locating people, but also in identifying which ships put into certain Jamaican ports.

LIST OF SEAMEN:
BOYD, William, Burial 31 Oct 1777, St. James, Master of the brig "Jesse."

SOLDIERS
There are numerous references to soldiers in the early Jamaican Parish Registers. Most of them were British soldiers. Some of these soldiers were later left in Jamaica when their regiments disbanded. There are records for burials, marriages and baptisms. Where the regiments in which they served are listed, this information may also be useful in tracing other military personnel.

LIST OF SOLDIERS:
MCPHERSON, Hector, Marriage, Mary Ann BOYD, widow, of 92nd Regt;
13 Nov 1823, Private 92nd Regiment.
