1822

21  May  1822 22  May  1822 5  June  1822

  • Name: Kenyon, John
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date: December  1784
  • Death Date: 3  December  1856
  • Occupation: patron of the arts

The three meetings in 1822 are likely to refer to John Kenyon (1784-1856), patron of the arts and poet (DNB), friend of the Lake poets and many other writers. John Kenyon re-married in 1822 and there are also several refs to Mrs Kenyon in this year. 'After his second marriage, to Caroline Curteis of Lewisham in 1822, Kenyon and his wife made Bath their headquarters, with frequent visits to London' (DNB), and nearly all the meetings with Kenyon/Mrs Kenyon in 1822 are within a few weeks, making this identification more likely.
