Wilkie 23.3.1805 at Philips'

Later Wilkies have been coded on GD website to David Wilkie DNB 1785-1841 but since his Life by Alan Cunningham makes it clear from Wilkie's own records that he arrived in London for the first time on 20.5.1805 this must be another Wilkie. David had a brother Robert in London but this was more likely to have been George Wilkie bookseller of 57 Paternoster Row, with his brother Thomas Wilkie to 1797 and with John Robinson from 1806. Thomas Wilkie published the London Chronicle 1790-1807
