Ballen, Miss

25.3.1796 miss Ballen at John King's with Este, Rogers, Gordon  / 8.4.1796 miss Ballen at John King's with Rogers, Este / 30.4.1796 at theatre: Este, Ritson & miss Parrs with miss Ballen

Noticeably each time with the Rev Charles Este. (Note I previously described Rev Charles Este here as "an unmarried literary parson". Not sure why I thought he was unmarried. In fact he had married Cordelia Croft in 1775 and they had at least five children who survived infancy. She died in 1828 a few months before he did. For information about their oldest son Charles Edward see boston1775.blogspot.com/2013/09/mr-este-and-miss-smyth.html)

Perhaps Josepha Hamdon Ballen born 18.3.1778 bapt 29.3.1778 St Marylebone dau of Joseph & Mary. Joseph Balin of St Geo Han Sq servant married Mary Ives widow 29.7.1777 by lic

Miss Barrale at King's 30.7.1795 and Miss Bannal at King's 3.12.1795 were possibly her though seems unlikely spelling change
