Ancestry Research in Montserrat Miscellaneous Records

One of the greatest things about this time of year is the spirit of giving. It goes without saying that I enjoy sharing things I find to share with others.  As a kid, I recall my grandfather recounting how there were family members on the island of Monserrat. In addition, the horrible active volcano that has destroyed most of the island and forced many to migrate to different parts of the world. It is a huge challenge to do research for this island as records are not accessible or available.

However, there have been situations where records become available for all to review. Today I have some images I came across for Monserrate, they are the Wesleyan Church Marriages that cover the period of 1820 to 1841. The records are in English since the island is a British colony.

There are other records such as the Execution Book which contains civil cases involving debt court which include trial dates, case number, and people involved along with the final judgment for 1898 to 1904.

There is also the Court of King’s Bench and Common Pleas that contains details of civil cases that include complaints, arguments, witness statements, and the final judgment.

There are also more recent records such as the Voters List of 1942.

There are additional records that will become available, and I will be sharing once released.
