Cornelius Walford

Nineteenth-century English insurance historian, author of "History of Life Assurance in the United Kingdom" (Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, vol. 25, 1885) — the scholarly reference most secondary accounts of the Amicable Society's founding-era mechanics trace back to, including the Tontine Coffee-House source this vault's Amicable Society cluster relies on. His original 1885 article is on JSTOR (stable/41135809) but has not been directly read by this vault; it is the strongest available next source for confirming the Society's exact dividend-distribution mechanics (see question-verify-amicable-society-dividend-distribution-mechanism-primary).
