Are there any Spanish records in the Archives? PDF Print E-mail
No, all the records begin with the British occupation. We therefore have no records of the Spanish era which lasted from approximately 1509 until the British invasion in 1655 which was followed by a period of guerilla war which lasted for 5 years.
