1796

3  February  1796

1809

11  March  1809

  • Name: Cowley, Hannah (née Parkhouse)
  • Gender: Female
  • Birth Date: 14  March  1743
  • Death Date: 11  March  1809
  • Occupation: playwright

Mrs Cowley is recorded in the 1796 list for the year 1796, and there is one entry to her - an 'adv' meeting with Holcroft at the theatre. The next entry records her death in 1809.

There are many references to reading Cowley, but this seems most likely to be Araham Cowley, rather than Hannah, although she was an accomplished poet as well as a playwright. There is also a reference on 4 May 1829 to a 'Cowley br'. This is not coded.
