Lang at miss Godwin's 23.7.1795

Because Hannah Godwin seems to have been friends with the Andersons (see Anderson, James) and particularly with his son George, I speculate that this Lang entry may have referred to Charles Laing 1771-1826 mentioned in George Anderson's will PCC 1817 as his partner.

Probable events of his life were / born 21.1.1771 bapt Perth 27.1.1771 son of James Laing & Elizabeth Broun / married St Mary Portsea, Hants 4.9.1799 Mary Barton / brazier, ship chandler & merchant 1805-1817 305 Wapping; 8 Bennett's Wharf nr church Rotherhithe; Limehouse…

Charles Lamb's brother John Lamb (1763-1821) and his family, which consisted of a woman of about his age (referred to by Charles Lamb as his wife) whose husband was still alive, and her daughter by her husband who was aged about 20. I have discovered their names and life stories but am keeping it secret for a bit, while I wait for the response of the Charles Lamb society to my offer of a mini-talk and/or an article in their bulletin. The "secret" is of course available to anyone with access to the internet and to Ancestry who could do the…

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"

CRABB ROBINSON DIARY 25.5.1820 Mrs Lanseer, mother of the artist - radical views

                                                  12.6.1827 "the late Mrs Lanseer was a firm believer and Unitarian Christian"

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 against those who confounded her radical views with disbelief. He could not have meant John Landseer's wife Jane nee Potts who lived till 1840
