HCR diary 17.7.1841 Mrs Ley, Mrs Aders' daughter "has however introduced her mother to a good wealthy woman a Mrs Hutchinson of Stepney who will probably patronise Mrs A:, while she casts off Mrs Ley"

The will PCC 1857 of Susanna Beverley Hutchinson of ChesterTerrace, Green St, Bethnal Green dated 27.3.1856 left all to Mrs Mary Ann Joyce now living with me, wife of my nephew William Joyce, who proved the will. She died on 9.12.1856 aged 74 according to the newspaper and aged 69 according to the burial record at Stepney. John Davison Hutchinson widower had married at Lambeth on 10.11.1824 Susannah Beverley Joyce widow botp. I couldn't find any more about John Davison (or Davidson) Hutchinson, nor could I find records of her baptism and first marriage. However a John Beverley Pool, son of John, butcher of Mile End Old Town & Susanna was baptised at Stepney on 16.8.1789, so she may have been his sister. A John Pool butcher of Spitalfields died in 1794 will proved London Consistory Court by his widow Hannah. Frances Mary daughter of Richard Reed Earl of Athlone and Susanna Beverley Joyce was born 28.11.1812 and baptised 12.1.1813 at St Marylebone. This must have been Renauld or Reynard van Reede, 8th Earl of Athlone who suceeded to the title in 1810, married in 1819 and died in 1823. His will PCC 1824 mentioned, as well as his wife and legitimate children, "my unfortunate natural child Frances Mary daughter of the very very unfortunate Susanna Beverley Joyce commonly known or called Mrs Grant said childs mother". In the main will dated 24.2.1820 he left them £250 a year between them to continue to the other should one of them die. He also made Edward Clarke solicitor of 36 Gt Ormond St guardian and executor of that part of his will. In a codicil dated 13.4.1822 he called her Susannah Grant of 26 Oxford St and left Frances Mary £10.000 at age 21 and in the meanwhile £500 a year in case they should live together. I think this was very likely the Mrs Hutchinson of Stepney mentioned above, though there is no positive identification, and I doubt whether Robinson knew her history. 26 Oxford Street was the address of Carroll's Lottery Office - no doubt there were lodgings upstairs
