Can you provide me with any info to help trace relatives on the above island? I have limited info on this family but gather that the ' East India Company' kept registers of families, could you help me with this?

Any ideas where else I can look for residents on the island of St Helena, how would I gain access to parish records, I believe the church was St James on the island? Also how can I trace land owners, preferably those who owned slaves on the island? I think I have some relatives who were slaves.
