Might be in here

https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1820-1832/constituencies/devizes

but wiki article uses this as source and doesn't name any Mayor KING   (18th & 19th centuries ommitted for some reason)

Hi
Thank you for your message I was about this by an elderly gentleman who was related to this man.
I know we went to the Devizes town hall and there was a picture of the man in the staircase.
Wonder if it is still there.
Thanks again Chris
