Not apparently closely related to Isaac Fawcett the younger above who was clearly the SCI member / Thomas Fawcett SunFire 1777 distillers opposite Grub Street, Chiswell St, will PCC dated 6.12.1787 distiller St Luke Old St (67 Chiswell St, Moorfields) mentioned brother Isaac of Pancras Lane, brother Mark and sister Phillis Honey both of Merton, son Thomas at school at Hackney, wished to be buried at Richmond, proved 11.3.1795, he was bur Richmond 29.1.1795 age 61 / Thomas son of Thomas Fawcett bapt 24.9.1775 Richmond, Surrey / Thomas Fawcett of Pancras Lane Cheapside subscr to Winterbotham's America 1795 / Thomas Fawcett bur 2.8.1795 Bunhill Fields age 26 from Finsbury Court / Thos Fawcett SunFire 1802 whalebone & cane merchant, boiler & cutter, 16 Old Change, who went bankrupt 1803. The brothers Thomas & Isaac Fawcett seem to have both had a son Thomas baptised in 1775, the Thomas buried 1795 age 26 doesn't quite fit them, though he was from Finsbury Court which was near to Thomas Fawcett's in Chiswell St. The SCI member, and so probably the Thos Fawcett in Godwin's Diary 1796, was most likely Thomas son of Isaac Fawcett, and probablt the bankrupt of 1803 as his father was a whalebone merchant and Old Change was not that far from Pancras Lane.

LCS & OTHER RADICALS: Thomas Fawcett of 67 Chiswell St joined the "unnumbered division" (QV) 28.5.1794 and was probably the distiller who died the following year aged 61 or perhaps his son Thomas bapt 1775 Richmond, at school in Hackney 1787 and perhaps buried Bunhill Fields in 1795. Thomas Fawcett of Pancras Lane was in the undated list for Div 29 and was probably the Thomas son of Isaac Fawcett bapt 1775 St Mary le Bow, who subscribed to Winterbotham 1795 and was the whalebone merchant who went bankrupt 1803 and was likely the Fawcett in Godwin's diary 1795 and 1796.
