Ignatius Sancho was an African born around 1729 on a slave ship.
Towards the end of his extraordinary life, he became a British citizen and was eligible to vote in the parliamentary election of 1774, and then again in 1780.
The details of his early life are not certain.
He was born on a slave ship crossing the Atlantic.
The ship went to the Spanish colonies in Central America.
His parents did not survive long, and he became orphaned.
His owner took him to London, and he eventually came to live with John Montague, 2nd Duke of Montagu and Mary, Duchess of Montagu.
Sancho worked as her butler until her death in 1751.
While living at Montague House in Blackheath, he educated himself.
He enjoyed music, poetry, reading, and writing.
During the 1760s Sancho married a West Indian woman, Anne Osborne.
Around the time their third child was born, Sancho became a valet to George Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu (of the second creation), the son-in-law of his earlier patron.
He remained there until 1773.
In 1774, with Montague's help, he became a shopkeeper in Mayfair.
He sold tobacco, sugar and tea, all of which were connected with the slave trade.
As a male householder living in Mayfair, he was eligible to vote.
He also wrote letters in newspapers, under his own name and under the pseudonym "Africanus".
Sancho had many well-known visitors at his shop, including statesman and abolitionist Charles James Fox PC (1749–1806).
Fox steered a resolution through Parliament pledging it to abolish the slave trade.
A Foreign Slave Trade Bill in Spring 1806 prohibited British subjects from contributing to the trading of slaves with the colonies of Britain's wartime enemies.
This cut out two-thirds of the slave trade passing through British ports.

Roadkill is any animal that has died on a road because it was hit by a vehicle, for example a deer hit by a car.
Vehicles pulled by animals, for example mule carts, did make roadkill, but there was much more roadkill after the invention of the automobile.
Causes and costs
If the car hits a large animal, for example a deer or elk, it is likely to be damaged.
In the United States alone, crashes with deer cause $3.6 billion in damage to cars and other vehicles, 200 deaths each year and many injuries.
Some roadkilled animals are sent to landfills with other garbage, but other bodies are used for scientific experiments, turned into makeup or turned into food for other animals.
Some people cook and eat roadkill.
Other people make the fur into clothes or other useful things.
Some scientists have studied roadkill to see where invasive species have come.
In Alaska, all roadkill belongs to the state.
Officers collect the roadkill, bring it to butchers, and bring the meat to charities.
In other parts of the United States and in other countries, individual people can get permission to collect roadkill in different ways.
Preventing roadkill
Many governments put up road signs such as "deer crossing" or "panther crossing" signs to tell drivers that there may be animals nearby.
Some build fences around roads where cars drive at high speeds.
However, then the animals try to cross at the ends of the fences, and they are hit by cars in those places.
Some governments have built wildlife bridges over or underpasses under roads that were already there.
In 2009, the local Department of Transportation built fences leading to four culverts on U.S. highway 27, and there were suddenly no roadkilled turtles.
