As the 1855 Marriage Registration states that Great-Great Grandfather Alexander Scott was a “Clerk in Holy Orders” and “of St, David’s Parish", is it possible that this may have been one of his early appointments in Grenada once he finished at St. Augustine’s College in Canterbury, England?

Also could GG-Grandfather Alexander have been “stationed” at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Genville in the Parish of St. David’s?

And here is a coincidence. Both witnesses' first names were "Henry". GG-Grandparents Alexander and Sarah's first son "Henry Alexander Cumberland Scott" was born just under a year later, on 16 April 1856 at Paradise Pen, Kingston, Jamaica.

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.
