Tiny bit of Edward Gray trivia
Who was Edward Gray? The man who in 1792 built the now long gone Harringay House.
You can read about this true Enlightenment gent in Hugh's Wikipedia article and see some of the very fine paintings he owned in this album.
Browsing through some old newspapers from 1810 (as you do), I came across a reference to the marriage of his daughter to a chap from Nottinghamshire. Sadly, as was the way then, although we have the name of her father and her husband, Edward Gray's daughter's name is not given.
