Additonal Information

This is pre 1820 information mainly taken from actual images of UK parish registers and other primary sources which I have personally researched. Further information about the settlers and their families once they reached the Cape can be found at https://www.1820settlers.com/

CHURCH, James Luke - Extra Data

Written by Sue Mackay on .

 

(see correspondence of Thomas OWEN)

 

Henry CHURCH is listed as a settler in The Settler Handbook, but according to a descendant, the settler Henry CHURCH did not arrive in South Africa. In his place was James Luke CHURCH and his wife, Elizabeth GREENACRE, who wrote a memorial to prove that it was indeed him that arrived in the Thomas OWEN party

 

London Metropolitan Archives:

James Luke CHURCH, bachelor, married Elizabeth GREENACRE, spinster, by Licence on 30 October 1819 in St.Mary's, Lewisham.

Both signed their names.

Witnesses: Thomas KNOOK and Mary LEWIS
