That's great Bookbox.
From one search it showed 'sources'.
I have now download 'A Dictionary of the Printers and Booksellers who were at work in England, Scotland & Ireland 1668-1725'
It's a great start, many thanks

Later publications refer to "J Peele at Locke's Head in Amen Corner"

The Charter and Grants of the Company of Stationers ... etc", publ. 1825 (google books on line) refers to -
"Mr John Peele, Amen Corner
(as at 1 Dec 1741)"

Stamford Mercury, 8 May 1729
On Tuesday Mr John Peel (no "e") and Mr John Nott were taken into custody by a Messenger, by Virtue of a Warrant from the Right Hon, the Lord Viscount Townshend, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, for Printing and Publishing the London Journal of Saturday last.

Have seen "J Peele, Locke's End/Amen Corner" linked to J Nott elsewhere - need to backtrack.

The Craftsman, By Caleb D'anvers of Guy's Inn, Esq. Published 1731. Extract page 276, No 243
 
"Though Mr Osborne (as he loves to call himself) may not be answerable for the news in that paper**, one John Peele, who puts his name at the bottom of it, certainly is; and I have been told that this John Peele is a much older offender against the Government than Richard Franklin, having long ago degraded himself from a Bookseller into a Publisher, on purpose to disperse libel against the Ministry; nay, against the present Ministry, and in the very same paper which is now converted into a very loyal, inoffensive Journal, by such a writer for the Government as Mr Osborne."
