I don't understand the question. Do you mean the descendants of slaves of the 19th century? Currently, citizens of the Cayman Islands are also British subjects, and hence may be eligible for a British passport.

There is some argument in the Caymens about citizenship: Here is a web story;

"Citizenship controversy in Cayman
The granting of Caymanian citizenship to hundreds of expatriates has erupted into a national controversy in the Cayman Islands, causing government to abruptly halt the process.



The three-island British colony has been caught up in a citizenship frenzy over the past week as several hundred expatriates flocked to the main police station for certificates of character, and to the government administration building to ensure their eligibility for citizenship.

Following the mad rush for certificates at the police station, government issued a statement saying no requests for the grant of citizenship would be accepted after this past Monday (Sept. 15).

Most applicants were Jamaicans who are presently in the Cayman Islands on work permits, but are seeking long-term security in the country. Some of them would have previously applied for citizenship and/or permanent residence and were declined by the Immigration Board which normally grants citizenship under a strict quota system.

Caymanian citizenship will eventually qualify applicants to acquire British passports, as the country is still a dependency of the United Kingdom. "
