John Singleton Copley DNB 1772-1863 "a mighty Jacobin". According to Farington's Diary iv 1411 he was cured of his democratic principles by going to America

The only (living) Corbetts in Godwin's diary, from the context very likely an attorney, so probably William Corbett of 2 Field-st Grays Inn. He was baptised 30.5.1768 holborn son of Kean & Sophia of Bartletts-bldgs, and articled 1786 to his uncle Richard Corbett of Bartletts-bldgs.

According to an advert in the Morning Chronicle in 1803 a Mr Cornell was a respectable hosier at 22 Bridge St  Westminster, his name was Thomas from electoral roll 1806. Cornell & Lowry were auctioneers & appraisers of 55 New George St & nr Florida gardens kensington in 1790. According to British Book Trades Index, a William Cornell was…

30.5.1796 Hume & miss Corney at supper at Joseph Fawcett's /

The children of Joseph and Alexia Hume as registered in the dissenter's registry some years after their births all have Thomas Corney given as the maternal grandfather. This miss Corney may have been a sister or aunt of Alexia, but as I have not been able to find any record of the marriage of Joseph Hume and Alexia Corney, I suspect miss Corney was Alexia herself. The eldest daughter of Joseph & Alexia Hume, Amelia was born at Newington Green on 4.10.1794. Alexia Hume was buried 6.8.1828 aged 54, of Kensington…
