We thank you for following the lead of all on TH-cam who visit graves to mention the names of the departed. Lamont is doing it here in the states , and I’ve followed him from time to time. But, what sets you apart is the fact that you researched some of the deceased to bring their lives into focus. No one on TH-cam does this. You are a true history researcher. Many of those people buried at that church probably were old colonists with strong ties to England before Jamaica gained independence. We all support you, especially those of us abroad who may never be able to visit these sites in Jamaica. You bring history to life.🇯🇲🇺🇸
Yes he does it for Jamaica and it’s interesting. We are grateful. But they are many TH-cam channels in USA where TH-camrs show pictures and give a history of the deceased. He’s not the only one.
I enjoy watching you over and over again
Nigel,you're doing a fine & important job,reviving the memories of these long forgotten.. no matter what "CRITICS" say in the name of envy & bad-mind..
As for that ground-keeper,eyeing you caun't he find something better to do.?!.like cleaning those wild bushes,off the graves it's a disgrace the way they keeps those graves in jamaica..

Blessings to you my brother you aer doing a wonderful job may God bless and keep you love from London UK
Like to see the graves of old Jamaicans born in early 1900s and late 1800s, especially the ones who died lately because they live through all the times and saw everything that happened, its just intriguing.
Keep on keeping you can’t please each and every one take your time and chip away at what you are doing you will grow and get awesome as the journey goes on blessings and guidance bro ♥️👏💯👀✅👍🏽
Yes indeed
Great video bro keep it up.
Great video!!
You need to do Church in the Wild Wood! Mile-Gully That would have been epic!
I am watching you from Brooklyn New York
I am in the BX watching that'
When do you think your going back to dovecot cemetery again? I have a special request if you can. Thanks! Your channel is one of my favorites
I have been passing that place all my life I never knew it was that big you can see that it is well kept tho
Good day Nigel can you do a tour at the cemetery at Spanish town road about father Coombs
Already did. It's called MayPen Cemetery.
@@JamaicanChapter Kool it is just that i know about father Coombs but he is not talk about
only my grand father he was born 1888. in those days the only cars was around was buggy draw by horses thanks very much i love when you read the lo g time graves back in the 1888
Big up yourself lamont at large and scott on the tape
???🤔
@@JamaicanChapter You don't know scott on tape?
JC👍👍👍👍👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
My father left Jamaica in 1955 aged 15 and boarded a ship for Southampton England.
You have contact with your father?
@@joanhenderson4295 yes, I see my father he is 84 years old now.
You dont need to explain yourself im sure lamont didnt start this scott on tape was doing it before that in the uk we have unusual things which was inspired by scott on tape I'm a Jamaican and this what you're doing is good cause I like to see my country.
Last names were often based on profession/trade, or during slavery, the enslaved took the name of their enslaver. Paris and England have some of the most beautiful and elaborate old tombs.
Isn't there an old cemetery at the back of Providence school? There was an old church on the grounds also.
Love your channel.
Yes Providence Church the school was moved to the entrance of Chest Hospital
So someone has to copy someone so what I enjoy watching🎉😊
This,is a talent god gave to you/ lamont at large only inspired & motivate you to your call..
The critic that's saying you're copying/ his name should be written some-where with a: "?"..
Good work I like it, keep it up,even though the pronunciation of some the name's is a little off,Evan is pronounce hevan, and with a low h sound and not Yvonne,anyway nothing to lose any sleep over, we all get it wrong sometimes,continue your work bro, good graveyard research 👍
Please do not get despondent because a few will critical of how you pronounce some words we are all not perfect so let that go over your head Please 😉 that cemetery probably as very few black buried there especially from the earlier years 😀 anyway thank you so much for what you are doing i enjoyed watching many blessings from London England
Nigel suh you young ⁉️ 😊 another great video ✅️ the grave of 9 yrs old Nadia needs cleaning up, she has no love ones in Jamaica? anyways it seems like Mr Sydney didnt want you to leave his grave, or was it that big tree root 😂😂😂
Those tomb stones is in good shape well taken care of.
Nice video but you need to work on the audio man..get a better mic with a filter so we can hear you clearly.
When will you go visit nu 5 cemetery in Spanish town go visit the Dj Major Worries grave
This looks like a typical British Cemetery, here in England 😮
Some of the churches in the UK 🇬🇧 yes
Wen do you visit may pen in Clarendon cemetery I had a request
When will you go to Calvary cemetery in Kingston?
my late mother name was Lousie Ada Mc Donald bury in Pen Cemetery
From lime tree Lane
Even though it's way in the back of the cemetery it also needs to clean not just the front.
Please do a story on simpleton and captain Barky
any one remember bishop Hastings he was bishop for the Moravian churches in Jamaica mr JC could you please find where he is buried thanks
Looks exactly like the churches in England. Even the graves are the same
The graves around the church at the doors are the oldest ones I think and very gilded
Yes indeed.
There's a lot of history in Jamaica I never know that so many people buried there I always saw graves there but I never know there r so many many
1987 was my birth what a young soul
I love Cats
Go number 5 cemetery in Spanish town
What I notice from these cemetary videos people who died those older times die from some medical conditions that people are not really affected by anymore. What are the factors for the change , wonder if 70 years time people will be dying from different health conditions. Food is what causing the change in all this i think
Im always curious about that cemetary alway pass in jutc buses and peeping over there thats where the murder politician wife melissa silvera was buried thank
for covering this cemetery job well done.
I don't hear those Names in Jamaica anymore
So true. Many of them had returned to England and elsewhere after Jamaica's independence in 1962
Some of my cousins name carty its a popular name
Not really I know one from a small island
Why didn't you show us the graves at the front? Sir Clifford Campbell is buried there.
get home safe my bro
Several members of my family are buried there
St Andrew Parish Church Halfway Tree
Those days we're working class people the graves look like these in the churches in England 🇬🇧
May Pen cemetery is not being taken care of. It is overgrown. It is a mess. This cemetery looks a mess as well. They don’t seem to care about the dead.
I pass that church with my cousin and he said is Nothing but big shots people are Buried there..he. Is mold you would Bot catch Me. Looking at duppys Grave's and headstone like that
Is true not anyone can buried there if you're a member of the church or have a relative buried there in 1955 I went to a funeral there a nurse who used to work at kph for years and her sister buried same day and I attended both one was earlier than the other than the other
Nurse used to care for Mr Geddes daughters 2 of them I met them too
@@joanhenderson4295 so they are buried there
@@joanhenderson4295 are the both sisters buried side by side
Visit mis Sella grave
Miss Zella from line tree Lane is still alive
English names bro, came from the englis people on the island from slavery come right up but some more dominant than some. Some names die out the males never got enough boy babies
The late John Jones ashes is ther
Really now
you should have been a school teacher
Next time you wear gloves or bring bottle water to wash your hands
Yes indeed 👍
Good job with your research, but bwoy u butcher dem names with your pronunciation. Mrs is "misses" not mistress. Dem days over
Persons born 1988 were the first generation after the emancipatioñ of the slaves
Mr Ezroy Millwood buried there in 2012 and he was also a freemason
You need to speak properly
Come onn be nice the Guy is Trying

How did that happen
Walk up all over graves since I know myself including strange graves all sit on them and that never happen
@@janoyantonio9585 I Remember as a child They said if I pointed on a duppy Grave me finger will Rotten Off
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@NevinReid-zy4ry
This man seem barely educated. Thanks for the videos anyway
Jamaica is not independent
No ordinary people buried there in 1995 nurse Taylor was buried there and her sister the same day there mother Emma bliss buried there also
So two sisters were Buried on the same Day
Yes when one buried we went into the church for the other sister they have family in Jack's Hill so you know not anyone can buried here
@@joanhenderson4295 so how big is that cemetery
