St George 27.12.1801 at John King's / 17.1.1802 St Georges at King's / 4.4.1802 mrs St George at King's

Possibly  Melesina Trench DNB 1768-1827 (nee Chenevix, widow of St George). Her Remains, edited by her son and published 1862, have extracts from her journal which show she was still in Ireland on 17.11.1801 and arrived in Calais on 5.7.1802, so it is possible she was at King's on the above dates, the plural entry perhaps referring to her teenage son who was travelling with her.
