Submitted by edpope on Fri, 14/06/2013 - 21:17

Elisee 17.11.1799 at John King's / 29.12.1799 at Lanesborough's

Probably the surgeon Marie-Vincent Talochon 1753-1817 known as Pere Elisee or Elysee, a favourite of Louis XVIII considered by some to be a charlatan. He swore to the illness of the singer Mme Banti in London (Morning Post 18.12.1798) and was said to have cured the Prince of Wales. Vincent Talochon of Old Bond St, druggist was bankrupt in July 1811 and had his certificate by October. he returned to France in 1815.

Eale 14.11.1799 at theatre

A rare name, nearest relevant reference I found was Joseph Eale, linen draper, Strand 1785. In the GD website the event tag for the theatre that night is blank. The plays were Fair Penitent by Nicholas Rowe and Turnpike Gate by Thomas Knight

Jones, Miss

Submitted by edpope on Fri, 14/06/2013 - 20:29

miss Jones 13.11.1799 at E Reynolds'

Because of the Reynolds' theatre connection this may have been Miss Jones singer (Highfill Burnim & Langhans fl 1778? - 1815?) or Elizabeth Jones actress (Highfill Burnim & Langhans born c 1769 died 1803)

Lee, Somt calls 26.10.1799 / 12.8.1801 Lee at Reynolds' (North Cray, Kent)

Probably two one-off Lees, though Godwins friends the misses Lee of Bath were of course from Somerset (if that is what Somt was short for)
