 In margin of P7 not sure where it goes
 All such real estates as are now vested in me
 upon any trust or trusts to hold the same to the said
 Thomas Wilson,Thomas Hodgson, William Henderson
 and John Elstob
 Carol Clark found this record
  Transcribed by Julie Chappell (very hard to read!!) ggw
  my brother Thomas Wilson of Catherine Court in the City of London Merchant...
 The Will of Joseph Wilson was written in 1806 so Thomas was still at 10 Catherine Court then, this is the last written record before the new occupier was there in 1815.

Notes
a. Note:   N8945 Thomas Wilson Sons & Co. was founded in 1840,[1] having evolved from a joint venture formed by merchants Thomas Wilson, John Beckinton and two unrelated partners named Hudson in 1822.[1]
 The company expanded and by the early 20th century operated a relatively large fleet, but in 1906 part of the operation was merged with the North Eastern Railway creating Wilson's & North Eastern Railway Shipping Co. Ltd[2] and later in 1916 the remaining company was sold to Sir John Ellerman who created Ellerman's Wilson Line which continued to trade until closed in 1973.
