Cruikshank, William

Submitted by edpope on

27.10.1788

Identified, probably wrongly, in GD website as the cartoonist Isaac Cruikshank. Given the many medical men and their wives at Miss Williams' tea parties this seems more likely to have been William Cruikshank (DNB 1745-1800). He was partner to Hunter, whose widow also attended the tea parties, and then to Baillie, who did as well.

4.8.1801 miss Cruickshank at Carlisle's
