  • Name: Hume, Alexia
  • Gender: Female
  • Birth Date:
  • Death Date: 29  July  1828

Listed in the obituary section of the Gentleman's Magazine for 1828 as the wife of Joseph Hume, esq. of Notting-Hill

Godwin records her death, but there is no mention of a funeral and there has been no recorded contact between Godwin and Hume through the whole of 1827. Godwin writes ito Hume in December 1828 and they dine together early the following year.

Joseph Hume features in the diary a total of 542 times and as a venue (V) 343 times. It is highly likely that his wife would also have been present at the venue. Following our custom in relation to other people sharing a home (such as Charles and Mary Lamb), we have coded entries which seem likely to have included Mrs Hume. - the first being in 1808, the last a year or so prior to her death. The assumption is that meal entries would include both, whereas calls may be strictly matters of business to the person named. There are also a number of independent contacts with Mrs Hume.
