Adrien-Jean-Pierre Thilorier
That "Thilorier" is actually Adrien-Jean-Pierre Thilorier is proved by French government documents, especially patents. His 1826 patent for a hydrostatic lamp lists his name as "Thilorier (Adrien-Jean-Pierre)" of Paris. His 1831 patent for a gas compressor also lists his name as "Thilorier (Adrien-Jean-Pierre)" and describes him as an employee of the "Administration des postes" (i.e., the Post Office) in Paris. In 1832, the "Bulletin of the laws of the kingdom of France" also lists him as "Thilorier (Adrien-Jean-Pierre)" and as an employee of the Post Office, who resided at number 21 on the Place Vendôme in Paris, and as the inventor of a gas compressor. In 1835, the government bulletin "La France industrielle" lists him as "Thilorier (Adrien-Jean-Pierre)" residing at no. 4 on "rue de Bouloi" in Paris and as the recipient of a patent for a hydrostatic lamp. In 1836, "The London Journal of Arts and Sciences; and Repertory of Patent Inventions" lists him by his full name as the recipient of a patent for a hydrostatic lamp.
