    Welcome to our community, Simon,

    I have not made much progress researching the Douglases of St Andrew Parish, but do note a Daniel Douglas who married Letitia Dorsett on January 20, 1875, in Clifton, St. Andrew.  However, I have no further dtails other than they were both born in about 1750.

    There are other members of the Douglas Archives who are researching their ancestors in Jamaica, and perhaps they can help. If you plug 'Jamaica' into the search box at the top of the page you should get some results.

    I am recovering (I hope!) from an eye operation that did not go as planned and my sight is severely limited, so researching is not easy.
