Lyttelton, George

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r: Lyttleton had mrs Robinson's premices. M

George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 and Mary Robinson DNB 1756?1758? - 1800. The DNB article notes Mrs Robinson's addresses, 14 St James Place 1792-7, but then a series of other London addresses as her financial situation worsened. Careful research could probably establish this connection but I don't have time at present. See Andrews, Francis
