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's is situated on High Pavement and was in the heart of the historic Lace Market district of Nottingham. John BRADFIELD and Mary DENNIS were married in St.Mary's, as were William ELLIOTT and Sarah DARKER (parents of the settler brothers William and Mark ELLIOTT), Joseph HOOK and Lucy SANSOM (parents of George SANSOM, aka HOOK), William MEATS and Mary REDGATE (parents of the settler William MEATS), Thomas Henry TARR and Ann RADFORD and James WRIGHT and Jane WHITTLE (parents of the settler brothers William and Joseph WRIGHT). Two sons of Thomas and Jane BILLSON were baptised in this church, as were eight children of John and Mary BRADFIELD, three children of Thomas CALTON, Samuel JACKSON, four children of Thomas and Ann TARR, Thomas TIMMS, and six children of Thomas TIMMS and Elizabeth HOLT.
