http://www.agnewsgallery.co.uk/pages/wc_lawrence_grist.html Hello I am new to this list. My Gr.Gr.Gr.Gr.Grandmother ELIZABETH NEVILL 1766-1830 of Nottingham dtr. of GILBERT NEVILL, surgeon and ELIZABETH HUNT m. 1752, had a daughter ANN NEVILL 1784-1863 Chr.1789 no father shown. Later Elizabeth m. THOMAS GRIST,and it is presumed that Ann was their child as when Ann m.1814 Dr.ALEXANDER MANSON M.DD.,F.R.S.E.1773-1840 One of their children had the name ALEXANDER THOMAS GRIST MANSON 1816-1856. Also Alexander Manson's brother, ROBERT MANSON, named his only child ANNE NEVILL GRIST MURRAY MANSON. Apparently David Garrick helped Thomas Grist . We are told that Thomas Grist had a daughter Harriett who was an actress. This suggests that he was married and unable to marry Elizabeth at the time of Ann's birth. We would be interested if any one knows of Harriet Grist and her mother. The above address has a portrait of Thomas Grist by Sir Thomas Lawrence . It is now sold so the picture may not stay there for long. If the person putting the theatre pictures on line is able to catch it before it disappears it would be good. Thank you from Eleanor in Sydney.
