Source Information:
Ancestry.com. Slave Registers of former British Colonial Dependencies, 1812-1834 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2007. Original data: Office of Registry of Colonial Slaves and Slave Compensation Commission: Records; (The National Archives Microfilm Publication T71/553-564); Records created and inherited by HM Treasury; The National Archives of the UK (TNA), Kew, Surrey, England.
About Slave Registers of former British Colonial Dependencies, 1812-1834
This database contains slave registers from Barbados for 1834. Information available on these records includes: name of owner, parish of residence, name, gender, age, and nationality of slave.

For more information about this database, click here.

In 1807 The Abolition of Slave Trade Act came into force. The act made the trade in slaves from Africa to the British colonies illegal. To combat illicit transportation following this act many of 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 registers continue through to 1834 when slavery was officially abolished.

This database currently contains the slave registers from Barbados for 1834. Information available on these records includes:
  • Name of owner
  • Place of residence (name of Barbados parish)
  • Name of slave (usually only a given name. If the slave had been baptized this may include the slave name and the Christian name)
  • Gender of slave
  • Age of slave
  • Nationality of slave


If we do not have an accurate analysis of the problem, we cannot possibly develop a good strategy to resolve it.

Scanning the register what is really interesting is the amount of female slave owners.
