WORRALL, THOMAS. He first appears in 1728, when he was trading from Judge Coke's Head, near the Temple Exchange Coffee- House in Fleet Street. On Nov. 9, 1730 he was still at the same address, but after this date I have lost all trace of him, though Timperley says 'that he lived on till 1767, when he died insane. A John Worrall, who had a shop at the Dove in Bell Yard, Lincoln's Inn Fields by 1731, was his brother. For a reference to this John Worrall see Nichols, ix. 710.

WORRALL, THOMAS. Brother of above [John]. An earlier date than 1728 (cf. ante p. 292) can be given for him. He was at the Judge's Head (or Judge Coke's Head) in 1724 when he was one of the booksellers concerned in the publication of Defoe's 'Great Law of Subordination Consider'd.' He was certainly advertising from this address up till 1755, and W. G. B. Page gives him here as late as 1767. He is also found at the Mitre and Crown (or Crown and Mitre) against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street where he succeeded F. Gosling (q.v.).
