Hopetown - Researching People of Interest

Are you aware of people surnamed Campbell, Sancho and Younge of Linden and elsewhere in Guyana? I am researching my maternal lineage. Also, my father is George Ross of Hopetown. One of his brothers resided at linden. My uncle is known to me as Smokey. I never knew his name. I am aware his surname is Ross. I am particularly interested in becoming enlightened, concerning the kinships of Campbell, Friday, Sancho and Young (Younge). I am aware; among my relatives are members of the kinships of Blair, Campbell, Martin, McAlmont, McPherson, Ross, Reddock, Sancho, Semple, Welch and Young, all of Hopetown and the other Villages of West Coast Berbice. My grandfather is Jacob Stanley Martin. My father is George Eleazar Ross (1908-2006). My grandmother is Blanche Ross (1893-1983). My great grandmother, the mother of Blanche Ross is Mary Maude McPherson. My Aunts and my Uncles are Hildred, Punnie, Gussy, Smokey, Felix, Jean, Marie Albert and Shirley; all are of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice. I would love to be enlightened concerning the dates of the deaths of the folks mentioned above and others of the village of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice. Thereby I could access the published reports of those events in the newspapers of that era – and thereby ascertain their immediate relatives and others of that era mentioned in those articles. I would be delighted to obtain and/or by all means access the list of shareholders of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice. I am told; Ruth Lara Semple is the mother of Anetha Jones, the wife of Rudy Kendall. She is regarded to be an immediate relative of my grandmother, Blanche Alberta Semple Ross (1893-1988). I am not sure how the relationship really is. I believe Ruth Laura Semple and Blanche Alberta Semple Ross (1893-1988) are either first-cousins or sisters. Again, I am not sure. I would dearly love to tap into the shared experience and ancestral heritage of the people of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice. It is also apparent to me my grandmother's residence was located in Firebrace. I remember it was about one lot from of the canal. I recall being told the neighbor to the west the residence of my grandmother is an immediate relative of the famous Rock Musician Eddy Grant. Perhaps you can point me to the relatives of folks mentioned in this correspondence. Is it possible for you to ask your relatives, friends, associates and your customers who are aware of the people of the communities found on the West Coast of the county of Berbice, to contact me? I would love to contact and communicate with the members of the kinship of Sancho of West Coast Berbice. I heard of Winston Lloyd Sancho of Profit, Shirley Sancho of Belladrum, and Earl Evan Sancho of Trafalgar. Indeed, I would love to bond the People of Sancho whoever they and wherever they are located. Hamilton, Joseph, McAlmont and Norville are known to be relatives of the kinship of Campbell of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice. The need is to link the kinship of Campbell of Hopetown to that of the kinship of Campbell, my great grandfather; James Campbell of Unity-Lancaster district. I have encountered Claudette C. Campbell in the Official Gazette of British Guiana. It is now my understanding; Claudette C. Campbell and Sherlock I. Norville is  married. The union produced at least one daughter. The daughter of Claudette C. Campbell and Sherlock I. Norville is married to a Hamilton. I believe the kinship of Norville reside in Brooklyn, New York City. I have heard of Rachael Campbell, the female National Cricketer. I am told a former Guyanese Law Enforcement Officer Young of Hopetown died Christmas day 2006 in California. I am also aware; in 1952, Jeannette Young was employed a Pupil Teacher at the Anglican Primary School in Hopetown. I would be extremely grateful when communications are established with Campbell, Sancho and Young of West Coast Berbice, and indeed members of those kinships of Guyana. I would be extremely grateful when communications are established with folks and/or researchers into the kinships of Campbell, Friday, Sancho and Young (Younge). I prefer email addresses and mailing addresses. I may be able to access Sherlock Norville of Beterverwagting and his wife Claudette Campbell of Hopetown, shortly. I am praying they will be able to point me to people of those locations of whom I have great interests – Campbell, Sancho and Young… I am also interested in learning about my heritage of my father's people of Hopetown, Martin, Blair, Semple, McPherson, Reddock, and Coddett…Who could point me to the relatives of Stanley Jacob Martin….and also the folks listed below?
