C. S. Ordoyno, a Nottingham printer in the 19th century.
E. Robinson, W. Skipwith, J. Wortley. All the three people are booksellers in the 18th century.
John Nichols, F.S.A. what does "F. S. A."stands for? There's a book named "Memoirs of John Nichols, esq., F.S.A. : with tributes of respect to his memory."

@kkfengdao,
You can just as easily search for those people as i can. As for FSA, i have every reason to believe that in this context, it stands for "Fellow, Society of Antiquaries of London." Antiquaries are people who study old things, and fellow is another way of saying a member of the society.

I'd tend to agree with Set (though could be the Scottish or American FSA too), particularly since you seem to be researching early printing.

@kkfengdao,

Charles Sambroke Ordoyno luckily was listed on a genealogical site; the Ordoyno family were prominent in the Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire areas.

You are unlikely to ever find these out except maybe by the most diligent research (more diligent than asking on Able2know!). Why do you need to know every name?

Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. John Nichols (1745-1826) the son of a baker, was born in Islington, Middlesex where he was educated at John Shield's Academy. In 1759 he began his career as a printer as an apprentice to William Bowyer, becoming his partner in 1766 and sole proprietor in 1777. In 1780 he purchased the Gentleman's Magazine, which he edited until his death. Nichols was elected F.S.A. in 1810. His printing business was continued by his son and fellow-antiquary John Bowyer Nichols.
