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 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

Henry Grove Amory of Bucklersbury subscribed 1788 to Nathaniel Lardner's Works.
