Most likely George William Crowe 1784-1867 son of William Crowe DNB 1745-1829. He contributed several reviews to Cumberland's London Review of 1809 which was published by Tipper, and Henry Crabb Robinson and a William Bligh were also named reviewers in it. G W Crowe was at Oxford University from 1804 "aged 25". He married in 1810 a widow, Sarah Randall, who died in 1814. He became Paymaster of the 27th Inniskillen regiment in 1811 and married Narcisse Poignet in 1818. From 1826 he was on half pay, and by 1837 was British Consul to the Ionian Islands, and from 1846 British Consul at Tripoli, on a salary of £1600, retiring by 1852. The 1813 letter could have been to G W Crowe or to his father William.
