Born into servitude, self educated, and emancipated; the living proof that Negroes were not inferior, can be educated, and moreover, could articulate themselves in a manner that made it clear they were more than intellectually equal. - Ignatius Sancho

I am interested in identifying and communicating with members of the kinships
of Bentick, Campbell, Friday, Kissoon, Sancho, Solomon, and Young (also spelt
Younge). The members of these kinships are connected to Guyana, and the Eastern
Caribbean Basin.
I am also interested in the members of the kinships of Clarke, Osborne
(Osbourne), Sancho and Stevenson of the United Kingdom. I am particularly
referring to those who possess African blood. I am primarily interested in
Blacks in Britain especially those who trace their heritage back to the
eighteenth century in Greenwich and Westminster. I am interested in connecting
with researchers who are researching the following; Rev. Leonard Strong, Reed,
Walrond, Turton, Bunbury and Stevenson and the Wesleyan Methodist Missionaries
in the colonial experiences in the colony of British Guiana. Please refer me to
those who are researching blacks in Britain in the eighteenth century…
Also those who are familiar with the parish register of St. Margaret’s
Parish Church in Westminster, for Sancho Surname, also St. Mary’s White
Chapel for Clarke, Osborne and Sancho. I am seeking information on Lawrence
Sancho, Lambert Tuckness Bentick Sancho, Christopher Bentick Sancho, John
(Jonathan) Sancho, Tuckness Sancho and George Sancho, and Mary Ann Sancho
Christening: 17 AUG 1785 St Mary Whitechapel, Stepney, London. I believe all
were birthed in the late eighteenth century in London.
What is your opinion regarding the instances I managed to identify people
surnamed Sancho, and Stevenson in the United Kingdom in the eighteenth and the
Colony of British Guiana (Guyana) in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I
believe they are members of the same kinships in their respective countries.

I am aware; events of births, marriages and deaths of persons surnamed Sancho
are located in nineteenth registers of the following; White Chapel and Stepney,
London, c. 1846; Abergravenmy, Monmouthshire; Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire;
Essington, Durham; Liverpool, Lancaster; and Tynemouth, Northumberland. However,
I am not aware of any connection to Sancho of Guyana and /or to Sancho of
Westminster in the eighteenth century. I am also aware persons surnamed Sancho
are listed in Saint John Deansgate, Manchester, Lancashire; Oakley, Bedford;
Maid stone, Kent; and St Peter, Monkwearmouth, Durham, England.
Please refer me to those who are researching the kinships of Clarke, Osborne
(Osbourne), Sancho and Stevenson in Britain and the locations mentioned in this
correspondence.
Also please share your expertise with me.
Thanks for your time tolerance and cooperation.

What do you mean by “more” than intellectually equal? If you’d care to argue that blacks are intellectually superior, I’d love to burst your bubble if you have the time.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog Mr. Wigley and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
By saying that Ignatius was ‘more than intellectually equal’ I was not inferring any form of intellectual superiority on the part of Negroes, I was merely stating that Igantius Sancho was more than an intellectual match for many of his peers. In the time of Sancho, the widely held belief was that Negroes were an inferior species, at least in regards to cognitive ability.
