I have certificates that refer to all these places and can see from google they are close to each other.
Can anyone tell me what sort of area it was around 1820 - 1860? ie slum and overcrowded.
He was a master mariner, or so the cert say. Or was it just handy for these workers?
I would just like some basic knowledge of this area.
Wife & family emigrated to Australia in 1858. Family name Richardson.
Thank you & Merry Christmas
