Elizabeth was a noted member of the family, being acquainted with Lord Byron and Marie Antionette and King George III, and her diaries kept from 1784 until six months before her death 1839 provide an insight into the life of a 'county lady' of the period (see the greenlyhistory website for fuller information).

James (or John) Roach was a bookseller and compiler who kept a shop in Drury Lane near the Theatre Royal. His bookshop on Drury Lane stocked everything from children's anthologies to salacious prints, and he is credited with producing one of the first part-publications - a collection of poetry published over two years. He published an infamous pamphlet entitled Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies (a notorious catalogue of courtesans and their various specialties) which landed him in prison for several months. However, with his new found notoriety, he released a selection of theatre books which sold very well.
