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.Andrew with St.Luke, Stoke Damerel. Stoke Damerel, now a suburb of Plymouth, was prior to 1914 part of Devonport. Isaac PICKSTOCK and Sarah WILLIAMS, parents of Charlotte PICKSTOCK, were married here in 1809, a month before Isaac's regiment sailed to Madeira, where Charlotte was born.  James THOMAS of SOUTHEY's Party married twice in St.Andrew's. Helen, daughter of Alexander and Mary BIGGAR was baptised in this church, as was Thomas Joseph Hancorn, son of John SMITH of WILLSON's Party and Rebecca HANCORN. John KESTELL and Susanna JACOBS, parents of the settler Charles KESTELL, were married in Stoke Damerel and baptised many of their children here, six of whom were buried as toddlers in the churchyard. The settler Charles KESTELL was baptised here as an adult in 1809 but shortly after his birth he was baptised by John WESLEY in the newly opened Methodist Chapel in Ker Street, Plymouth Dock, since demolished.
