The will of  Mary King PCC 1817 said she was living with her daughter Lucy Eastwick and was witnessed on 26.4.1811 by R W Eastwick, Union St, Somers Town. Lucy Eastwick died 1824 of consumption. Captain Eastwick of the Elizabeth was wrecked off Dunkirk in Jan 1811. His third wife was Martha Hopwood (see my entry for Henry). He was in the Ionian Islands 1832-1835 and was buried 6.1.1866 age 90 (though even older). All the L Eastwick and Mrs Eastwick entries above were probably Lucy Eastwick, and the plain Eastwick entries quite likely her though possibly her husband. The Miss Eastwick of 1805, E Eastwick of 1811, and E Eastwick junior of 1814 were probably all her oldest daughter Eliza at age 7, 13 and 16, though there may also have been a sister of the Captain
