How to use this Handlist

This handllist (or detailed guide) lists the resources held at Gloucestershire Archives concerning the historic county’s Black. Asian and minority ethnic communities, as well as detailing resources held relating to the original home countries of the communities. The main section (from pp.32 onwards) is arranged alphabetically by nationality, and each entry will give the Archives’ document reference number, details of the content of the document, and the covering dates of the document (a rough date will be given if an exact one is not known). The earlier sections of the Handlist are arranged thematically.

All the documents listed are available to view at Gloucestershire Archives, and you can find details of the Archives’ opening hours and location, as well as other information that will help you to get the most out of a visit, by following this link. Unless otherwise indicated, the documents are not currently available to view online.

Please note that many of the countries that appear in the Handlist experienced long periods of Western involvement, and our holdings include documents which reflect the settlement and activities of Western concerns in these countries. The Handlist includes these documents for the sake of completeness, and the original language is used.

The handlist has been compiled by Sarah Aitken and Paul Evans, and was updated by Jenny Rutland in August 2020.

Parish Register Entries & Bishop Transcripts Generally the nationality of an individual is not recorded in parish registers. However as there were few Black and Asian people around, race was sometimes noted in early registers. The term “black” might refer to the colour of someone’s skin or it might be a nickname. For example 'Black Samuel Cox' might have been a black man or he might have been a blacksmith or just a man with a ‘black’ temper. A person’s place of birth was also sometimes noted, e.g. “a Barbados merchant” could be black or white. There are also entries of baptism of slaves who were brought to live and work as servants in this country. These types of entries generally stop when formal printed registers were introduced in 1813 (1754 for marriages).

Newspapers & Cuttings Gloucestershire Archives holds various local newspapers, particularly the Gloucester Journal 1722-1992 and Gloucester Citizen 1876-2005.

Gaol Registers Gaol registers are one of the few records which usually specifically noted someone’s race.
