Joseph Lancaster DNB 173-1838 educationist was probably the lecturer of 1809. The nearest lecture to that date by him I found in newspapers was on 3.8.1809 at the Jews Chapel Spitalfields, but he was giving…

Landaff 29.12.1799 at Lanesborough's

The GD website has coded this to Richard Watson the Bishop of Llandaff but I think more likely it was Francis Mathew, ist Earl of Llandaff (Dict irish Biography 1738-1806). His son Francis James (Viscount Matthew) had married 10.7.1797 Gertrude La Touche,acousin of Elizabeth LaTouche who had married 17.1.1781 Robert Herbert Butler, 3rd earl of Lanesborough and Lady Lanesborough's eldest son

NCR diary 21.5.1832 with Landor "We went first to Mrs A: and had the good luck to find her going to the gallery and we accompanied her - L: was exceedingly delighted with their pictures - some of which he declared with his usual exaggeration to be finer than Raphael etc however his judgement seemed in substance to be that of Mrs A: and I daresay they were pleased with each other"

25.5.1832 "with Mrs Aders - An interesting rather than comfortable chat about Landor who is high in favor on account of his admiration of their pictures - and Mrs A: says his judgement is quite…

I could find no trace of the death of Mrs Ann Landseer but she seems to have been the person Crabb Robinson was referring to (see below for details). In noting her Christian beliefs Robinson was defending her…

I think all the above entries referred to John King's wife the Countess of Lanesborough. Another possibility would be her son by her first marriage Lord Lanesborough, but I think that unlikely. At the two dinners at Lanesborough's at least half the guests also appeared at King's dinners. Lady Lanesborough was probably present at most of the dinners at King's (they were said to be inseparable) and Godwin didn'…

The first entry was with two Jones sisters (see Jones, Margaret) also identified by their initials, the next two plain Laney with Jones's, the next used the S initial again, and the last is miss Laney with L Jones. I suggest these were all one unmarried female…
