What is this?

[Number of enslaved people] 92(Tot)  
[Name] [No name given]  
 

Return of John Briggs, his own property. NB that this return was in St Joseph rather than in St Michael as in 1829 and 1832. Note too that the 1829 return gives the estate name as Sion Hill whereas it was Wilday by 1832. The numbers given in the Registers - both the current and the previous totals at the head of each registration - correspond.
