HCR diary 2.4.1838 "I was glad to perceive Mrs Aders house nearly full - Miss Lawrence, Mrs Bent a widow gentlewoman and a young German must render their living now very litle expence to them"
12.6.1839 "went on to the Aders - a friendly reception, but a little constraint. I am afraid to ask questions - Nothing about Ellen, nor their loss of their lady inmate - nor Miss Lawrence - they are now quite alone"
See my background article "3 Wives, 3 Husbands Living". Jane Mary, niece of the renowned plasterer Joseph Rose (1745-1799), married at St Marylebone on 8.8.1794 William Bent, an ironmonger and later coal merchant of Westminster who died 1836. Their daughter Mary married Christopher Grenside, rector of Great Massingham, Norfolk and my great-great-great-grandfather, whereby I now have some of Mrs Aders' paintings in my keeping. William Bent Grenside (born 1821 son of Rev Christopher) wrote a note on the back of these portraits, saying that Mrs Aders was "a great friend of my mother's family" Jane Mary Bent's death in Brompton Square was noted in Jackson's Oxford Journal of 18.3.1848.
