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.
