John Livie married Ann Cook 31.10.1781 St Andrew Norwich. She was the sister of Richard Taylor's mother, Susannah Taylor (nee Cook) DNB 1755-1823 as is clear from Ann Livie's will PCC 1840 of St Botolph Aldgate. He was a potter and glass seller of Hermitage Street, Wapping from 1768 who died 3.4.1798 aged 68 of pleurisy on lungs (St Mary Wapping burial 10.4.1798) and was well-known in the literary world for his deep and accurate knowledge of the learned languages and for his beautiful and correct edition of Horace (Gents Mag 1798 p444).Ann Livie is not to be confused with Jane widow of the merchant Robert Livie (his will PCC 1807 hers PCC 1840 of Montagu Square). All the above entries apart from the first must refer to the widow (and her children? though none mentioned in her will)
