mmmm - so my assumption that they were all black slaves goes right out of the window then!

Goodness me that's a long way back! I'm very grateful for your help.

I was thinking perhaps John Roebuck's father was in the West Indies in the Navy, or something to do with slavery. My branch of the Roebucks come from Lincolnshire. I believe John Roebuck came back to the UK as a young man and married quite late in life as he and his wife Mary only had one child, Robert in 1857.

His name is John Roebuck, born 1808 West Indies.
