British Immigrants

Janet Schaw kept a journal of her voyage from Scotland to Antigua in 1774. Her fascinating account is available online:

  • Journal of a Lady of Quality: Being the Narrative of a Journey from Scotland to the West Indies, North Carolina, and Portugal, in the Years 1774 to 1776. New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1923. Digitised by FamilySearch Books Online.

Galenson published a list of more than 50 English indentured servants shipped to the Caribbean, and to a lesser extent, North American colonies:

  • Galenson, David. "Servants Bound for Antigua 1752-56," The Genealogists' Magazine, Vol. 19, No. 8 (December 1978): 277-279. FHL Collection 942 B2gm v. 19 (1977-1979); these immigrants are included in the free online Immigrant Servants Database.

Many ships that sailed from Bristol, England to Antigua are described in: Bristol, Africa and the Eighteenth-Century Slave Trade to America 1698-1807 (4 vols.) FHL British Books 942.41/B2 B4b v. 38-39, 42, 47.
