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.Marylebone, Old Church Garden Plaque

The old parish church of St.Marylebone became a chapel of ease when the current church was completed in 1817. It was demolished in 1949, and the site is now a public garden. Stephen DELL and Mary HUNT (parents of the settler Edward Hunt DELL) were married in the old church, as were Thomas FRANCIS and Elizabeth JERDON, Francis GREATHEAD and Eleanor HALL (parents of James Henry GREATHEAD), and William MILLER and Eliza DENNISON. Robert Embleton ANDERSON was baptised in the old church, as were two sons of Charles and Elizabeth CAMPBELL, Christopher DALE, two children of Charles and Elizabeth HILL, Charles HOLLIDAY, five children of William LLOYD and Dorcas NEEDHAM (parents of the settler Henry James LLOYD), Thomas SLATER, John, son of William TARR, and Christopher WEBB.
