The 14 January 1797 birth of John Cope son of Daniel and Elizabeth Folkard is recorded at St George The Martyr, Southwark.

A loose connection perhaps, but as Grimwade recorded John Cope Folkard's father as a Pawnbroker, there may perhaps be a link with the below report and thus worth recording:


Smith and Whitaker, convicted of conspiring to defraud their creditors, &c. stood an hour in the pillory, in Cornhill, opposite the Royal Exchange.

Folkard, the silversmith, his brother, and Nugent, the money-lender, concerned with him in an endeavour to defraud his creditors under a commission of bankruptcy, underwent a like punishment, opposite Guildhall.
