At last! Persistence pays.

Yes, the Dutch settlers built their first church at Ampa, a trading post which later became a plantation, on the right/east bank of the Essequibo River. I haven't been able to get the exact year but it was before 1688, when the first real priest arrived from Holland. The Dutch Reformed Church was the official church at that time.

Congrats!!

Next one.

The Dutch colonizers ruled Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice according to Roman-Dutch law. The English took over these colonies in 1803, combined them to form British Guiana in 1831 and retained Roman-Dutch law for a while. In what year was the legal system changed and what replaced Roman-Dutch law?

Good morning 'Sir Gil, Sir', Cain told me to show you respect, because you are an elder, but he said he is better looking.

I have a puzzling question regarding a coin, that been haunting me for some time, with no proper answer.

In my collection is a one-guilder coin titled ' United Colony of Demerary and Essequibo-1832'.

The other side has a bust of William IV, who was a friend of Wilberforce.

I believe Berbice became part of the colony in 1831. Why did a coin exclude Berbice, but was minted after that date ? 

January 1st 1917 and changed to English (common law of England).

That's right. English common law replaced Roman-Dutch law in 1917, ie, 114 years after the British started ruling E-D-B and then BG.

Congrats!!
