P_10433_3172 – James Ludlam
James Ludlam, partner in Parry, Sons & Ludlam, owner of one slaving voyage and co-owner of four further slaving voyages from London between 1793 and 1796, and co-owner with many of the same partners of a further slaving voyage from Liverpool in 1794. No will has been traced for him to date: he was probably the James Ludlam formerly of Homerton and then of Haselbury in Somerset buried at the latter in 1824 aged 55. The will of his father Thomas Ludlam, previously reportedly senior partner in ‘Messrs. Parrys’, was proved 1796. Ludlam and Parry were wholesale linen-drapers, of 33 Poultry in the 1786 London Directory.
