• Notes

  There is reference to a bankruptcy against a business partner of James, William Henry FRENCH. I cannot be sure that it is this James Disborough but the address suggests that it is. It would seem that the partners, described as "Provision Brokers and Dealers" in Little Eastcheap, became bankrupt on 11/9/1816, with the final determination being made on 3/2/1824. My knowledge of what happens is poor, but I sense that James and Henry parted ways following the bankruptcy notice; maybe this allowed James to marry in 1817?
