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.

Longbridge Deverill, St.Peter and St.Paul Interior 1. Ephraim DICKS married both his wives in this church (they are both buried in the churchyard) and his two children, Ephraim and Joseph, were baptised here. James DICKS the Elder also married both his wives in this church, and all his children were baptised here, as well as his nephew Robert HARRIS. James DICKS the Younger and Dinah FORD, the daughter of the Party leader Edward FORD, were married in this church, as were Robert MILES and Ann DICKS and Elijah PAYNE and Mary HALL. Dinah, Maria, John and Patience FORD, children of the Party leader Edward FORD and his wife Jane, were all baptised in Longbridge Deverill on the same day in 1812. Elizabeth FORD was baptised here in 1818 and a few months later her older sister Maria married Benjamin DICKS in the church. Benjamin and Maria did not sail on the Weymouth but joined their families at the Cape between 1829 and 1833, when their son Joseph was born in Grahamstown. Their older children were all baptised in Longbridge Deverill.
