Talk:Warren Lisle

Bexey Tewxbury
What is at is not usable as reliable source, but generally corroborates (leaving spelling aside) what is already in the article, in relation with Lisle's first marriage. Charles Matthews (talk) 05:46, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

William Clapcot* Lisle
His assumption of a double-barrelled name, Clapcot-Lisle or Clapcote-Lisle or Clapcott-Lisle, is surely an affectation.

There is a creditors' notice:

"THE Creditors of WILLIAM CLAPCOT LISLE, late of Holyport, in the county of Bucks, Esq. are desired to attend, either by themselves or agents, at the King's Arms Inn, in Puddletown, in the county of Dorset, on Wednesday the 25th day of June inst. at 11 o'clock in the morning, to consider of an offer and proposal that will be then made them for a composition of the several debts due them from the said William Clapcot Lisle. N.B. The creditors are desired in the mean time to send to Mr. Templeman, of Dorchester, an account of such debts."

The creditors may have been holding off until his father's death. Warren Lisle may have been wealthy, but in those days managing cash flow was always an issue. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC) Charles Matthews (talk) 07:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * "In the spring of 1787 Mrs Lisle was staying with the Forsters at Egham and invited them to join her and her husband at their house at Lille in Flanders. By June it was agreed that Mary would accompany Hester upon her return and that John would follow soon after. The two ladies arrived in France at the end of the month." p. 11.

 * Mary was apparently the wife of John Forster (died 1840). Charles Matthews (talk) 08:04, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

He was certainly dead by 1796: Journals of the House of Lords, Volume 41 p.99. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:45, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

This mention of the wedding to Hester makes it happen in 1773 on Jersey. To explain. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:55, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
