From Guyana to New Zealand, via Ilfracombe, Tiverton and Exmouth: Tales of a Slave-owning family
Speaker: Peter Wingfield-Digby
Peter is a member of the Legacies of Devon Slavery connections Group (LDSG). Some of their work is shown in the Projects section of the DDE website. The Teschemakers are one family that he has been researching. They had extensive sugar plantations in Essequibo, which became part of British Guiana. In this Zoom meeting he will discuss what happened later to members of the family, based on the extensive material that is available online.
