His younger brother, JOHANN MICHAEL HAYDN (1737-1806), was also a chorister at St Stephen's, and shortly after leaving the choir-school was appointed Kapellmeister at Grosswardein (1755) and at Salzburg (1762).
He was distinctly courteous to even the youngest chorister.
Howard Thomas was a cathedral chorister at King's School, Ely where he studied organ with Dr. Arthur Wills.
Born in London, James Burton began his musical training in the Choir of Westminster Abbey where he was head chorister under Simon Preston.
This attracted the attention of a distant relative named Johann Mathias Frankh, who was schoolmaster in the neighbouring town of Hainburg, and who, in 1738, took the child and for the next two years trained him as a chorister.
