Jamaican Family Search Genealogy Research Library
The following list of Jamaican slave manumissions between 1820 and 1825 with a few even earlier are found in the British Public Record Office at Kew (Ruskin Ave Richmond, TW9 4DU, 0181-876-3444) Their catalogue can be found on the web at www.pro.gov.uk. This document is filed at CO137/162. The CO stands for Colonial Office papers. This is a large bound volume of Colonial Office correspondence.
The documents are on non-standard size pages of about A4 and the page number given here refers to the double page and whether it is on the left or right hand. The names have been left in the order that they appear in the records and from the page number it is possible for researchers to order the photo-copy of a page from the Public Record Office to check any particular name in its original handwriting in case of mis-transcribing. There appears to be no consistency as they are listed neither by date nor alphabetically whether of the manumitted or manumitter. All of this data at the PRO is presumably drawn from the Jamaican manumission rolls (IB11 at Kingston PRO) which have never been microfilmed.
The background to this is that from 1815 onwards and the end of the Great War with France the British government came under increasing pressure from Abolitionist sentiment and agitation in the UK itself. The government therefore increasingly asked for information from the colonial governments on subjects about which it had never previously bothered. In CO137/162 there are other documents listing details on Jamaican slave marriages, (pp155-168) those sold off the island for crimes, any slaves imported since the abolition of the slave trade, the number of free blacks in every parish and the number on welfare. Few of these documents give individual names, save in the case of marriages though a few parishes simply return the annual number of such, though others list names and dates. Similar questions may have been asked of other Caribbean colonies.
It is pointed out in the "Observations" below that appear in the original document that the ages of the manumitted people are not specified. (The Imperial government was worried that elderly or infirm slaves were being freed to starve to save the cost of their upkeep as is apparent from the context.) But, as the names of the owners are known, it might be possible to check these owner names against the Slave Registers, where they are indexed under Parishes in T71 in the PRO. If the name of the owner could be found in the Registers then not simply age but other personal details of the ex-slaves could be discovered. Many of those listed here will be personal servants while others, above all where the surname of the manumitted slave is the same as the male master while the mother's is different, or when indeed they were dignified by a surname at all, were often the children of their master. If their attributed racial category could be found in T71 this might be confirmed.
It should be pointed out that there are repetitions in the list and inaccuracies. One that I have noted is that of Isabella Hall (almost certainly the sister of my great-great grandmother) who freed the same slaves Mary Pennock Hall and Eleanor Barrett Hall for 10/- in 1817 in the first list and in the second list for nothing in 1822. What is more Isabella died in 1824 and the freeing of the slaves Edward Brown and Elizabeth under her will is recorded thus in the first list and not in the second in which supposedly such categories are included! In addition the whole time distribution of manumissions seems odd. I suspect from looking at other documents in CO/137 that the requests of the British government were regarded as a monstrous imposition by the planters ruling the colony and, though complied with, were not necessarily done with much care. Great caution should always be exercised therefore.
Finally I would make an appeal or rather two. First the microfilming of the Kingston manumittance rolls is urgently needed and it would probably render most of this present work superfluous. It might only cost a couple of thousand US dollars, maybe much less. Secondly, as previously mentioned, there are in the PRO the massive Slave Registers, there are 566 volumes for the British West Indies, and another 80 or so for Mauritius that have already been microfilmed plus a dozen or so for Cape Colony and Ceylon. They were done for the whole British Empire between 1817 and 1832. These contain the name, sex and age (they include children) of each individual slave; whether Creole or African; the racial category to which he/she is assigned (negro, mulatto, quadroon etc), the property where they are found and their owner's name. It is surprising how many are African in 1817 when the Slave Trade had been abolished in 1807. The West Indian volumes have never been microfilmed and can only be accessed at Kew.
The Registers are filed under T for Treasury rather than CO for the Colonial Office because they were seen as the prelude to emancipation, and the Treasury, who foresaw emancipation but did not trust the planters a bit, wanted a long-run record of how many slaves existed and their details. They did not want to be defrauded. Thus they contain details of slave age and origin which influenced their value. The imposition of this census of slaves was bitterly but unsuccessfully resisted by the planters who realised what it portended.
From my enquiries I understand that the cost of microfilming these volumes and so making the films available to libraries in the UK, the States and the Caribbean would be just over US$200,000. If this was done groups of interested people could co-operate to copy lists of parishes in a similar way to this little project. If anyone knows of an institution that could be persuaded to finance such a microfilming everyone with an interest in Caribbean genealogy would be in their debt. Slave genealogies are so very, very difficult.
The following pages were transcribed by Jenny Sanchez, Debbie Paige, Brenda Smothers and myself. I must most warmly thank the first three for their help and support without which it would not have happened.

Observations
The Age of the person manuminized cannot be stated, as it is never specified in any deed of Manumission.
The Bond which had been previously required from persons manuminizing Slaves to the Churchwardens of the Parish in the penalty of £100, as a security against such Slave becoming chargeable to the parish as a pauper, is rendered unnecessary by the 7th Section of an Act entitled "An act for the removing of impediments to the manumission of Slaves by Owners having only a limited interest" passed the 18th December 1824 which enacts -"Whereas it is now required by law, in all cases of manumission by deed, that a Bond should be given to the Churchwardens of the parish for payment of an annuity of £5 for the maintenance of any slave intended to be manuminised, and such bond is in many cases unnecessary. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid That it shall not be necessary to give such a bond to the churchwardens, provided that in lieu thereof the Slave, intended to be manuminised, shall be produced to the magistrates and Vestry of the Parish where such Slave shall reside, or it shall be otherwise sheown to their satisfaction that the manumission is not given for the purpose of relieving the Owner from the obligation of maintaining an Aged or infirm Slave, a certificate thereof shall be given by the Vestry, and shall be annexed to, and entered in the Secretary's Office with the Deed of Manumission."
Every Deed received in the Secretary's Office requires a 5/- Stamp, and the Office receipt a further stamp of 2/6. The fee for recording all deeds, whether manumissions or otherwise, is established by law at 2/6 a sheet (consisting of 160 words), and of course the charge for recording Manumissions is regulated by the number of words the Instrument contains
A Return of the number of Manumissions effected by Purchase Bequest or otherwise from 1st January 1821 to the period of the making of the returns, specifying the date of each Manumission, the Name of the person manumitted, the price paid for the Slaves' redemption, and the name of the person by whom the Slave is manumitted, as the same are recorded in the Secretary's office.
