CHILDHOOD IN THE ST. ANN’S COUNTY

Around 1944 Norval Marley, a white Jamaican and a supervisor for British crown, and a black Jamaican girl called Seddela got to know each other. Norval was in his late forties and Seddela was only 18 years old. Seddela was attracted to Norval’s sense of humor and they soon became lovers. Shortly after that Seddela got pregnant. When she found out about this, she told it to Norval right away and he promised that he would marry her. After some troubles with Seddela’s family they finally got married. But Bob’s father had to move to Kingston to work right after. Seddela lived in her family’s house and got every help she needed from them. Bob was born on Wednesday, 6th February 1945 in a family house. The whole family waited for Norval to come and give the boy a name. Bob was baptized Robert Nesta Marley. Everyone in family called him Nesta. He was a very clever boy and had a great sense of music. Some old people in the village Nine Mile in St. Ann remember how he sang to them when they went in his grandfather’s shop. He sung them songs which he thought out by himself. When Bob turned six his father wrote to Seddela and said that he would like Bob to come to Kingston and start going to school there. Bob went and his mother stayed in St. Ann thinking about him all the time. Not long after that, she realized that she had to go and see him in Jamaica’s capitol. She found him at some old lady’s house. Mr. Marley had brought him there and asked that lady to bring him up as her own child. Seddela took the boy back to her home in the countryside. Bob was much different after he had returned from Kingston, the only same thing was his love for singing. He was so good at singing that sometimes people came to his grandfather’s shop to hear him sing and often gave him money. When Bob was 10 years old he lost his father, who he didn’t even know, Norval Marley died in Kingston in 1955. And not much later his mother went to Kingston to find a job. Nesta was again with his grandfather Omeria, looking after the sheep and goats in the Nine Mile’s fields. At that time his mother was struggling in Kingston’s slums trying to find enough money to survive. When she finally found some place to live in she wrote to her family to send Bob to her in Kingston. Omeria did so and Bob got there soon. He started going to school there and as he was older Kingston was much different to him this time. He had no idea that his life was about to change....
