Slave Registers of former British Colonial Dependencies, 1812-1834 In 1807 The Abolition of Slave Trade Act came into force making slave trade from Africa to the British colonies illegal. The British Colonies began keeping registers of black slaves who had been so-called “lawfully enslaved”. In 1819 the Office for the Registry of Colonial Slaves was established in London and copies of the slave registers kept by the colonies were sent to this office. Registration generally occurred once every three years. The Slave registers database currently contains the slave registers from Barbados for 1834. The registers contain:Name of owner, Place of residence (name of Barbados parish), Name of slave (usually only a given name - ifthe slave had been baptized this may include the slave name and the Christian name), and gender, age, and nationality. 14 Day FREE trial to this subscription database - and all records - at Ancestry.uk
