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.Mary at Lambeth. The original church was medieval and the tower dates from 1377, but the body of the church is Victorian. The building was deconsecrated in 1972 and now houses the Museum of Garden History. Archibald Hope and Thomas Cockburn, two sons of John BAILIE, were baptised in St.Mary's, as were two children of Benjamin BOOTH and Margaret MORTIMER, two children of Stephen BROWN and Mary BUTLER, three children of Charles Collins CAMPBELL, two sons of Joseph and Susannah DONOVAN, Melvina Harriot Mary, daughter of Richard and Mary GOWAR, the children of Archibald McKENZIE, two children of Matthew NELSON, the youngest two children of William REED and three children of Samuel SCROOBY. Thomas BINGLE and Sophia FAIRCLOTH were married in this church, as were Richard FREEMANTLE and Sarah KENT.
