Yeah but back then pictures weren't common and you could just grow a beard, decide your name is now Thames Twice, and move to another town really fast away while still letting your title as chemist, since document verification was really hard to do unless it was for some bigwig (and even then you could sometimes get in). If you really want to sell the act he could learn an exotic foreign language like Swedish and say he studied in Sweden too, but had English parents and that's why he spoke English so fluently. Most of proving why you are cage by showing you could do the skills you claimed you had.

That's why charlatans could live a life of scamming.
