Fillingham moved in literary circles and was well known as an amiable book collector. In 1805 he sold his library and moved to India where he died. A partial catalogue of his library was published to promote its sale: A catalogue of a portion of the library of William Fillingham (London: Sotheby, 1805). He appears frequently in the diary with Thomas Hill, another well known literary man. He disappears from the diary in early 1806 which seems to confirm the identification.
