HCR diary 24.11.1821

"Ewald Aders - a nephew of A: with a face somewhat Guelphish & therefore not intellectual has the manners of a gentleman and the air of a man of honour."

A son of Johann Jacob Aders (QV*) merchant in Leipzig married Karolina Tönnies (Sophia). See Aders family (QV*)

HCR diary 12.6.1824

"called on Aders who had proposed my being shares in the Rhenish West India Co - a compant managed by C C Becher but as a servant only - Aders' brother is one of the founders - The society is the more deserving credit, from its not being pretentious - They offer only 4% interest with a bonus occasionally"

The Rhenisch West-Indische Gesellschaft founded in 1821 by Johann Jakob Aders crashed in 1828, was liquidated in 1832 and shareholders received only 10% back in 1843.  For Carl Christian Becher (QV*).

The second entry above seems likely to have been Harry Adkins, police officer Bow-street public office (Holdens directory 1811 and in Old Bailey proceedings 1809 to 1819). So the first entry quite likely referred to him as well. A Harry Adkins was later keeper of Warwick gaol (1830s & 1840s)

James Aickin DNB 1737-1803 actor and F Aickin. Both presumably present on 3.12.1788. The first entry above 23.11.1788 is wrongly coded in GD website to J Aikin
 

see Batemans Buildings in London Addresses dataset. Aickles appears to have been a brilliant swindler and/or maybe had friends in high places. His downfall was his distinctive name
