Mr. Gidley ( - fl. 1691)

Gidley and Courten exchanged many objects back and forth. Courten mostly acquired from him naturalia, but also, it seems, supplies for collections, such as corks for his bottles containing insects. Relationships: Mr. Gidley was a associate or acquaintance (general) of William Courten (28 Mar 1642-26 Mar 1702)
