    • The partnership of C. and N. Negroponte, Liverpool, merchants, was dissolved in 1865 (Liverpool Mercury 30 Nov 1865). Argenti records no such 'N' Negroponte.
    • He advertized to rent a house (Liverpool Mercury 9 Jun 1868) and sell houses and property in Oakhill Park, Broad Green, Liverpool, England, in 1868 (Liverpool Mercury 30 Jun 1868).
    • He participated in the Liverpool and Manchester Agricultural Show, Sep 1871, and showed in competition his Scotch terriers which placed 'extra' (Liverpool Mercury 7 Sep 1871).

He was among 120 passengers on the P. and O. steamer Tanjore, at the quarantine station, eight miles off Venice, 4 Jul 1883, because cholera had broken out at Damietta, another Egyptian port city. They had departed Alexandria 26 Jun 1883 and were being quarantined, in successive five-day sentences, because disease had been found elsewhere in Egypt.
    • See his namesake. It is unclear who is who.
    • C.G. [sic, perhaps a typo] Negroponte was a supper and refreshment steward at the grand fancy dress ball given at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall by S. Georgala, of the frimof B. Georgala and Co., Greek general merchants (Liverpool Mercury, 30 Dec 1871).

(2) aged 32, merchant, lodged at 163 Upper Parliament Street [digital record difficult to decipher; scanner says middle initial 'P' and born USA]. Most probably, this man is the former or neither.
    • Perhaps he had a son, Michael, a physician.
