Thanks, ShaunJ. That may be a lead. I'll look into that a bit more. The dates and location are certainly suggestive.  :)

Thanks for clarifying the Bridewell-Tothill Fields link, Bookbox. I didn't realise.

I will get all my requests in relation to Thomas Carr via the LMA organised and then post on the lookups board as you suggested.
