Gentlemen in the Regency Era — 3 Comments

  1. Thank you for your contribution. My enquiry is for my book about Walter Withers and his wife Fanny Flinn. They migrated to Australia in 1882. Walter was an artist.
    His grandfather was Edward Weston Withers who died 1819 in Birmingham England.
    We know nothing of him apart from his two children’s description of him. One said he was a gentleman, the other that he was a painter.
    Do you have any sources for a Regency era provincial ‘Gentleman Painter’ at all?
    Thank you

  2. A very interesting article on the gentry of the Regency Era. I have recently learned that an ancestor was a clerk for the Honourable East India Company. Do you know the process whereby a young many would become a clerk in the early 19th century? Would he have to serve an apprenticeship? What educational level would he need. and what social level would he be drawn from? Any information you can provide would be helpful. Thank you.
