with Voigt (QV*) "we went and took coffee with Mrs Aders. Mrs Akers there and her brother a clergyman"

Aretas Akers (will PCC 1855) son of Aretas Akers (will PCC 1816) married 1821 Isabella Larking (bapitised 28.8.1799 at East Malling, died 17.7.1891). Her brother was the Rev. Lambert Blackwell Larking (DNB 1797-1868). This is a very probable identification but no clinching evidence
