A popular misconception is that the records of the English colonies were returned to London, however these were considered ''domestic records'' (such as parish, civil registration, and probate records, plus court cases and deeds etc) and therefore were not of the sort of records usually returned to London. Although a quantity of pre-20th century correspondence to the Colonial Office has survived in the London Archives there are no Grenadian censuses for the 19th century. Further anything pertaining to a colony would most likely have been returned to the countries on gaining their independence. | A popular misconception is that the records of the English colonies were returned to London, however these were considered ''domestic records'' (such as parish, civil registration, and probate records, plus court cases and deeds etc) and therefore were not of the sort of records usually returned to London.
