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.Botolph without Aldgate Interior

St.Botolph without Aldgate Interior
London, City of London

St.Botolph without Aldgate Interior. The church was completely rebuilt in the 1740s. It was badly damaged during WW2 but restored. The church was one of four in medieval London dedicated to Saint Botolph, each of which stood by one of the gates to the City. The other three churches were St Botolph without Aldersgate, St Botolph without Billingsgate (destroyed by the Great Fire and not rebuilt) and St Botolph without Bishopsgate. William BOND and Martha ABRAHAM were married in this church, as were William BARRETT and Sarah HEATHER, William DENHAM and Sarah BUSWELL (William was also baptised here), Samuel John MOLLETT and Elizabeth Ann JENKINS, Robert PIRIE and Elizabeth BOOTH, William Henry SURMON and Louisa HATT (William Henry was also baptised here and was born in the adjacent Minories), Thomas WELLS and Sarah LAMBOURTH and Thomas WILLSON and Mary Ann INCE. Rebecca Eliza, daughter of William and Elizabeth THOMAS, was baptised here.
