Notes
The invitation refers to guests coming from 23 Brompton Square. The actor William Farren (1786-1861) resided at 23 Brompton Square until his death in 1861. His eldest son, William Farren (1825-1908) was born at Brompton Square and it is possible the invitation may refer to him also or to the household.
