1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

 

St.John at Hackney

St.John at Hackney

The present St.John at Hackney was built in 1792 but St.Augustine's Tower is older. Philip Richard MARILLIER was baptised in the newly rebuilt church in 1793, his parents having married in the original church. Edward FORD and Jane MURRAY were also married in an earlier church on the site in 1756. Joseph DEARMAN married Benon POMMIER in this church in 1808, and John OATES married Betty KENT in 1815.The youngest three children of Thomas CLARKE of WILLSON's Party were baptised here, as was James EDWARDS (son of James and Ann EDWARDS)
