This collection comprises records of those qualified to serve as a juror in the county of Cambridgeshire between the years 1828 and 1883. Qualifications were based on ownership of land or property and therefore excluded the majority of residents. Those who owned land or property over a certain value threshold may have been called upon to serve on the jury in quarter sessions, assizes or various other courts. The lists of qualifying residents were collected by churchwardens or parish constables and included details of the property that allowed the owner to be included.

How did African soldiers experience the campaign, and what did the war mean for West African societies as a whole?
