| Histories |  | MILLINER Orphan Papers "Jas. Milliner Senr, member of Baptist Church Melksham, with wife, 3 sons, & 3 daughters, were sent to Jamaica as Agricultural laborers about 1840 where they remained several years, but in consequence of sickness & misfortune, all returned to England, except the 3 sons, James, George, & John." Although slavery had nominally been abolished in Jamaica in 1834, it continued under the "Apprenticeship System" until August 1838. This led inevitably to a shortage of labour in Jamaica, which the MILLINERs were sent to alleviate. |
| Jamaican Immigration 1840-1841 Agricultural labourers were brought to Jamaica from Great Britain and elsewhere to alleviate the labour shortage. | |
| Collapse of the Jamaican Sugar economy "Sickness and misfortune" were cited by George MILLINER (see MILLINER Orphan Papers) as the reason for the return to England of the parents and daughters of the family. The summary of these parliamentary papers suggests that the misfortune may have related to general economic collapse, and also makes reference to the alleged incitement of the Black population by Baptist ministers. | |
| Papers relating to immigration to Jamaica The MILLINERs were probably brought to Jamaica under the "Bounty scheme": planters were paid a bounty for finding and employing labourers (some from England) and paying for their passage. | |

| The MILLINER Story as told by Herbert MILLINER The story was passed down through James's daughters to Harold GADD, and through his sons to Herbert MILLINER. Compare and contrast! |
