    Marriage 29 Nov 1788  Saint Philip, Barbados Find all individuals with events at this location  [1] 
    • I had Jane Gittens married to Joseph Gittens who was baptized 1761 but without any evidence to support the assumption. Harold Hard (his e-mail Jul 13, 2009) had Jane Gittens marrying Joseph Gittens baptized 15 Nov 1763, again the assumption is without direct evidence.

      I have amended my database to align with the asumption of Harold Hart regarding the marriage of Jane Gittens and Joseph Gittens baptized 15 Nov 1763. This will make future communication with HH a bit less confusing and we can make further changes in these assumption as required. CCG
