Mayoral Message
"I am proud that Liverpool Council was selected to be the first in this Historical Series."
"Almost everyone in the community is familiar with the broad outlines of our colonial history and the famous and infamous personalities who played their parts in its creation."
"However, whilst great events were being performed by great names, the unwritten history of our early settlement was also taking place, the people - ordinary people, convicts, emancipists and free settlers alike went about their daily life - building, sowing, reaping, selling, buying, living and dying."
"This booklet does not claim to be a complete history of Liverpool, but it provides the main details and the major events throughout which the lives of the ordinary people are woven."
"In this booklet you will find listings of all the early settlers of Liverpool and their origins. It is the first time such a listing has been generally available. Reading it through, I'm sure, you will find familiar names - ancestors of families still residing in Liverpool."
"I commend this booklet as a valuable contribution to our historical resources and a must for all people curious about their own family tree."
