I am the former Sharon Westmaas. The Westmaas family is well known in Guyana, and we too are descended from the Allicocks.
My uncle Dennis once collected the facts of our family history,
This is what he writes:
Robert Frederick Allicock. Scotsman, born ?? Died 1822
He had 32 slaves and 10 cows. He owned land at Noitgedacht in the McKenzie ( now Pinder ) area of the Demerara River. He married Nancy, a free woman of mixed blood. Her son by Robert F Allicock was the father of James Garvan Allicock.
James Garvan Allicock. Born 1835 died about 1918 -1919 in the Alms House where I was taken to see him by my mother. Before residing at the Alms House he used to take his mid-day meal with us at the corner of Oronoque and South Road where Rupert was born.
James Allicock had married a woman named Georgiana Edkins from St Eustasius ( commonly called Saba) in the Dutch West Indies. By her he had Indiana Euphemia Allicock born May 24 th 1850 and others.
Indiana married a man of Jewish extract named James Alexander Richardson, born 1856 died 1914. By him she had Janet Theodosia Richardson, Winifred Alberta Richardson, Kathleen Richardson, Amy Richardson and Frank Richardson.
