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/

Jeremiah LONG married Ann DORRINGTON on 24 December 1804 in the Collegiate Church of St.Mary, St.Denys and St.George (later Manchester Cathedral)

 

Jeremiah, son of Jeremiah and Ann LONG baptised 3 August 1808 in the Collegiate Church of St.Mary, St.Denys and St.George (later Manchester Cathedral)

 

Baptism of James not found, but the Grahamstown Journal for 21 November 1884 has the following:
"DIED at “Hope Fountain”, near Salem, District of Albany, on Nov 14th 1884, James Dorrington LONG, aged 80 years 7 months and 1 day. Deceased was one of SMITH’s Party of Settlers of 1820." 
This would put James' birth at 13 April 1804.
