Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
I have moved your post from the Introduce Yourself forum to the Rest of the World Genealogy forum, where hopefully it will attract more attention.
Good luck

Booker Brothers and Guyana
The Booker brothers - Josias, George and Richard - owned a sugar plantation in Demerara (now in Guyana) and set up a successful shipping line. Obviously, they must have employed many people and you may be able to track some records.
Take a look at this blog from Merseyside Museum: https://www.blog.liverpoolmuseums.org...01/booker-line
The [I]Guyana Times [I] has a lot on the Bookers too:https://www.guyanatimesinternational

Can't offer anything specific - sorry.
Off to roost.
