Note: The death of John Still was difficult to determine for many years. The name in the St Mary Le Strand records was incorrectly given as John Hill of 7 Feathers Court in Westminster, a known address of the Still family. A close look at the original burial ground records (Film Roll 21, St Mary Le Strand Parish, Westminster Archives), shows that the correct name was actually John Still age 44. Buried in Russell Court Ground.
