Saint Lucia

Slavery

Special slave censuses were kept in the early 1800s. They are held at The National Archives (Kew, England). Slaves are identified by given name under their masters. If you can identify your ancestor's master, this source will prove of tremendous value to your research. Ancestry.com digitized these records:

• Slave Registers of Former British Colonial Dependencies, 1812-1834 ($)

Legacies of British Slave-ownership identifies the names of slaveowners in St Lucia at the time of emancipation in 1833. (free database)
