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.Budock Parish Church (to left of porch). Grave of Peter and Elizabeth RENFREE, grandparents of the settler Joseph RICHARDS. Peter RENFREE was also the older brother of Miriam RENFREE, mother of the settler James Jay EVA. The inscription reads "In Memory of Peter RENFREE, late of this parish, who departed this life March 26th 1826, Aged 84 years. Also Elizabeth RENFREE, wife of the above, who departed this life March 8th 1821, aged 75 years. Likewise seven of their children.
Behold you that this way pass by, As you are now, so once was I. As I am now so you must be. Prepare, therefore, to follow me."
