Black and Asian History In Gloucestershire

The Gloucestershire Record Office holds references to black people in the county dating back to 1603. These were obtained from parish registers from around the county. A list of references to black people has been compiled by James Turtle a the Gloucestershire Records Office over a number of years. However it remains very difficult to trace 'blacks' from the records unless specific mention is made of their 'color'. It is likely there remains much evidence to be discovered.

There are also excellent historical sections in the Untold Stories books.
