In 1812 he was prosecuted at Clerkenwell Petty Sessions for defrauding Mary Ann Clarke of £600 but the prosecution was dropped at once. In 1810 James Comrie Esq paid Land Tax on a property in Shepperton, Surrey, and in 1815 the lease of Wormholt Farm, Shepherds Bush was auctioned "late in the occupation of Mr James Comrie". Not found his death record, but I reckon this is a good identification.
