George Wason of Cornwall and Jamaica

[ElizabethHerts]

Could someone with Worldwide Ancestry please tell me what type of records there are for George Wason in Jamaica?

I am researching him in connection with a Cornish family. The Wason surname was given as a second name to some family members and an H Wason was witness to a will. His will also mentions James and Ann Bennett of Tregony and their daughter Harriet.

I can't see anything about him in Jamaica on Ancestry apart from family trees which you would have access to anyway:

And nothing on Jamaican Family Search (nothing to do with FamilySearch).

But FamilySearch has the baptism of a Robert Wason, 26 Aug 1797 Kingston, Jamaica, parents George Wason and Ann Roberts, with an image of the PR entry:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-8FKP-C?personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AVH6H-NHP
Image number 29. Date of birth shown as June 9th 1797, and Ann Roberts is described as "a mulatto woman".

Edit - this record does also come up on Ancestry, but I would have had to put George Wason in as father's name on my search.

Thanks, Kate. His PCC will is quite interesting. He actually gives his date of birth!

I knew he had a son Robert and a daughter Mary Murl(ey), who later married Robert Holditch.

I'm wondering if he ever married. He also acknowledges a natural daughter by an Ann Thomas.
