Hamond, Elton

Submitted by edpope on

HCR diary 1.1.1820 tea at Aders "I was glad to be withdrawn for a time from the melancholy subject"

                 23.5.1820 Hamond's view of Crabb Robinson "kindhearted, gay, ingenious, animated, well read man with a good taste in morals & poetry but he is as far from being an interesting man as Joe Rolley who was called so by Pollock. His manners are too coarse - he has too little ambition, too much vanity & garrulity"

Harcourt

HCR diary 24.11.1821 party at Aders "Also a Mr Harcour (or some idem sonam) who is said to sing well and has a modest and sensible air"

                    29.11.1822 at Aders "Mrs Harcourt a niece of Aders was just arrived - a very plain woman but she looks amiable and Mrs A: says she is accomplished"

Halcomb, John

Submitted by edpope on

HCR diary 9.5.1838 called on Aders "He tells me that Halcomb the Dover candidate has taken up the cause of Mrs Leigh"

                   8.7.1838 "I hear from the Aders that Mrs Ley has returned to her old house where she means to open a school -she has a friend in Halcomb the barrister!!!"

John Halcomb (DNB 1792-1852). Ellen Ley (1804-1867) was the daughter of Mrs Aders and the widow of Hugh Ley (DNB 1790-1837). Halcomb's interest probably didn't last very long and she was soon in trouble again (HCR diary 7.1.1840). See my background article 3 Wives 3 Husbands Living

Gotzenberger, Jakob

Submitted by edpope on

HCR diary 2.2.1827 "Gotzenberger the young painter from Germany called on me and I accompanied him to Blake - We looked over Blake's Dante. Gotzenberger seemed highly gratified by the designs and Mrs Aders says G: considers B: as the first and Flaxman as the second man he has seen in England. The conversation was slight - I was interpreter between them and nothing remarkable was said by Blake - he was interested apparently by Gotzenberger"

                  10.2.1827 called on Mrs Aders "Gotzenberger had left them"
