     • Llewellynne Jewitt, FSA from J. Wedgwood Hons" J. Wedgwood" refers to Josiah Wedgwood, then it's likely suggesting a connection between Llewellyn Jewitt's FSA status and Josiah Wedgwood himself or the Wedgwood family. Llewellynne Jewitt: This is a reference to Llewellynn Jewitt, an English writer, antiquary, and editor. He lived in the 19th century (1816–1886) and was known for his work on various topics including archaeology, history, and antiquities. FSA: This stands for Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. The Society of Antiquaries of London is a learned society "charged by its Royal Charter of 1751 with 'the encouragement, advancement and furtherance of the study and knowledge of the antiquities and history of this and other countries'." J. Wedgwood: This likely indicates that Llewellynne Jewitt's association or affiliation with the Society of Antiquaries came through J. Wedgwood. This could refer to Josiah Wedgwood, a renowned English potter and founder of the Wedgwood pottery company.
