Notes:

1. The prospectus has not been located. Agnes, née Penruddock (d 1889), 2nd wife of William Heald Ludlow (1795-1855), JP and Magistrate. He took on the surname Bruges as a condition of inheritance from his great-uncle, Thomas Bruges of Seend (d 1835); JP, Melksham banker, landowner, surveyor and mathematician. For reasons yet to be determined, in his will Thomas bequeathed a sum of money to Mary Anna Fry (b 1793) spinster sister of the photographic pioneer Peter Wickens Fry (1795-1860).

2. Constance Talbot, née Mundy (1811–1880), WHFT’s wife.
