6.8.1808 dine at Knowles's (comte de Barde)

Francois Isidore Le Roy 1742-1811 Comte de Barde fled to England 1792. His eldest son, Armand Nicholas Le Roy 1772-1845, Comte de Barde, page of Louis XVI, married 1.7.1806 Marylebone to Adèle de Sainte-Hermine. One of the witnesses was the Duc de Coigny 1737-1821. Perhaps Knowles had some gossip about them?
