    Marriage 1752  Saint Lucy, Barbados Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3] 
    • I am not really sure about this marriage, especially since it is in St Lucy and the marriage is between Joseph Gittens and "Susanah" Benthom. Also I think Benthom should be Bentham as there is only one Benthom in either the IGI or English Settlers databases. HH

      However, it does fit as baptisms for children of Joseph and Susanna or Susan start in 1753 with John as the first child.
