  • Notes 
    • There were 2 properties with rent (presumably not owned) in Lower Precinct, St Leonards, Cheapside with a James DISBOROUGH - this may be him and his father or both him(?). This applies from 1808 to 1813, at which point Frances takes over, hence the assumed death date. There is also rent in Lower Precint, St Leonards in 1798.

      There is a James DISBOROUGH, perfumer, at 7, Fish St. Hill in the Holden Directory of 1799 and 1802, but nothing for the 1805 and 1809 editions for James DISBOROUGH or DESBOROUGH, or similar names.

      Ancestry has trees with his parents as William and Frances, but ith no independent evidence for this.

      Index to death duties for Apr 1813 mentions Frances DISBOROUGH, 7, Fish St. Hill
