Ebanks / James of Saint Elizabeth

I'm trying to trace my family back through Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica.

Surnames are getting a bit tricky, I'm guessing this is due to people changing identities after the abolition of slavery.

I have worked back through to my grandfathers grandfather, A man named Eustace J Ebanks (I'm assuming the J stood for james, as his son is registered and recorded as Eustace james)

My Grandfathers Mother is also another difficult area, as she Was Born Johanna James, then Married a man with the surname nurse (I think) as on her Marriage documentation to Eustace James she is listed as Johanna Nurse


So I'm looking for info of the James, Ebanks & Nurse families from Saint Elizabeth in the 1800's

Any help would be greatly appreciated
