Thomas Massa Alsager (DNB 1779-1846)


Alves

Alves 23.1.1802 at Lamb's

No Alves in index to Letters of Charles & Mary Lamb. A fairly common Scottish name. William Alves 1780-1835 son of Dr John Alves of Shipland ( MD Edinburgh 1758, d 1788) married Sarah Chandler Davidson on 14.7.1801 at St George Bloomsbury, his brother Archibald Alves 1765-1838 was of 17 Lower Harley St in 1801 (Sun Fire Insurance). I have lots more written notes on people of the name Alves but nothing conclusive at present


Amherst

Amherst 6.10.1805 at Lord Holland's

Probably William Pitt Amherst DNB 1773-1837. The DNB says very little about this part of his life, he had inherited the title Baron Amherst in 1797. I consulted a few books on the Holland House circle (Sanders, MItchell &c) but found no mention of him as a  part of it, nevertheless the identification seems probable


Amory, Henry

Henry Amory of Bucklersbury proposed 27.9.1782 by Joseph Towers 2nded Edward Bridgen.. His grandfather John was a Taunton grocer, his grandmother Anne was sister of Henry Grove DNB 1684-1738, his father Thomas Amory DNB 1701-1774 was Grove's successor, and his mother was Mary (c.1723 -.1801) daughter of Rev Samuel Baker of Southwark (d.1748), they were married at Taunton on 7.9.1741.  Henry Grove Amory of Bucklersbury subscribed 1788 to Nathaniel Lardner's Works.

                    23.4.1820 "to Amyots with whom I dined" "Amyot's increasing toryism renders his conversation sometimes unpleasant" "R.A. has undertaken to ascertain at the Navy Office whether Lieut Kelly Mrs     Smith's first husband be alive or not"

Andreani, Paolo

Adriani 10.2.1793 at Paradise's.

Count Paolo Andreani (often spelt Adreani) of Milan born 27.5.1763 died 11.5.1823. On 2.4.90 Paradise wrote to George Washington introducing him (Shepperson) and he sailed from Falmouth 13.4.90 bringing an ode from Alfieri to Washington. Earlier he had been the first Italian to take a voyage in a balloon. In America he viewed Niagara Falls and travelled through Upper Canada with a passport from Lord Dorchester, he measured the height of Thunder Mountain (1400ft) and took observations to determine whether the earth was flattened at the poles (Memoirs…

Andrews, Francis

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r: M P Andrews, Lyttleton's Moloch, a letcherous old miser. M.

Francis Andrews 1718-1774 (A History of the Irish Parliament) fits the bill, in some people's views. There were no MPs with surname Andrews in English Parliament in 1754 - 1820. George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 would seem to be the likely author, but I can find no instance of Moloch in his works. M could be James Marshall or Basil Montagu among others
