Thomas TING, pork seller

[Davran]

Does anyone own the above gentleman, who was a pork seller in London in the 18th century?

[Mutley]

Don't ting I do,
Though I'd like to ting I did, cos I'm feeling a bit peckish at the moment.

Sorry Davron,
Why? Have you found him somewhere and want to get rid?

Regards, Mutley.

Hi Mutley

Well, it's a bit of a long story, but to cut it short, I have in my possession a document 1779 relating to Thomas Ting's property and, as he doesn't belong to us, I would like to reunite document and family if possible. I found a reference to a Jas. Ting butcher, Newgate Market 1 Jul 1787 - maybe Thomas's son or brother??

So if anyone knows anyTING about the family I would love to hear from them.

And by the way, all the TING endings come up very annoyingly in a search for the surname!
