Morning Chronicle 25.3.1796 ad for subs for LCS sending deputies into the country, list of those receiving subs included Hughes, bookseller, Carthusian St, Charterhouse Sq (Thale p351 note 49). On 23.5.1796 Div 4 of LCS resolved against a general meeting, signed by John Arnold President and Jas Hughes Secretary (Thale p358).

Robert son of John & Elise Hawes bapt 27.12.1748 Bury St Edmunds

The best source for his family was the will proved PCC 10.4.1801 of his aunt Unica Hawes of Botesdale, Suffolk from which we see he had many cousins, his father had died by 1784, his grandparents John & Ellen Hawes were buried in Rickinghall churchyard, his uncle Robert was an apothecary of Bury St Edmunds (whose will was proved PCC 1784).

Wrote to LCS 21.2.1793 to see if they wished to promote his pamphlet "Imprisonment for Debt Unconstitutional" which was printed for the author in 1788. It included a letter dated 29.8.1785 from John Sawbridge (DNB 1732-1795). 2nd edition 1795. An Edward Farley gent of Hamilton St, St George Hanover Sq had voted Lord Trentham 1749. An Edward Farley of Godalming, Surrey voted for Vincent & Scawen against Mawley in Surrey 1774 and was an occupier in Godalming 1780.

Frost

Submitted by edpope on

Frost at 16 Pepper St, Lomans Pond, Southwark was an address for LCS signatures 12.11.1795, and the president of Div 15 of the LCS on 18.9.1797 was called Frost (see Thale). Nearest but unlikely identification I found was John Frost pawnbroker of Tooley Street Southwark will proved PCC 21.1.1799. Though both in St Saviour's parish, Tooley Street and Lomans Pond were not particularly close.
