Hi I am looking for any information on Anna Maria Caroline Vanpine, she was born in Jamaica in 1812 to a Jamican mother and possibly german father. Her father John Vanpine was serving in the military in Jamaica at this time. She was sent over to England in around 1822 and lived in at the duke of york school in chelsea she eventually went to work for Samuel Oldknow in Mellor Derbyshire where she met my great great grandad Henry Roe Wigley. When she arrived in britain she was classed as an orphan and apparantly had a brother 'Jimmie'. Any help would be great, many thanks
