19.3.1806 call on Elam

Thomas Elam woollendraper and mans mercer 44 Bedfordbury SunFire 1796, 1809. He married Ann Webb 2.10.1785 at St Martin i t Fields. His will dated 26.3.1819 of Leicester Square mentioned his late wife, his son Benjamin woollen draper of Bedfordbury and several other children. It was proved PCC 6.4.1822. He was buried 23.3.1822 at St Martin i t Fields age 71. The nearest baptism to that age I could find was Thomas son of Thomas Elam bapt Doncaster 11.8.1751. Elam is not a very common name and the call was made next to one on Klugh, a tailor, so the identification is probable
