Collection: Caribbean Colonial Statistics from the British Empire, 1824–1950 Volumes Montserrat, 1830-1887
Montserrat was first colonized by the Irish in 1632 when they were evicted from St Christopher by its British Governor. The Irish had originally been deported to the Caribbean in their thousands, as indentured servants, by Oliver Cromwell. Many of the citizens of Montserrat, black or white, are descended from these deported Irishmen and Irishwomen. Slavery in Montserrat ended in 1834, though the compulsory apprenticeship system would continue until 1838.
