TABLE 3: DICKENS’S SIBLINGS

* The date of Harriet Dickens’s death has been discovered by Professor Bill Long, and is due to appear in W. F. Long, ‘Defining a Life: Charles’s Youngest Sister, Harriet Ellen Dickens (15.9.1818–19.08.1827)’ Dickensian, forthcoming. I thank him for sharing his work with me prior to publication.

†The spelling of Lamert/Lamerte is inconsistent in the sources. Alfred’s middle name lacked the ‘e’ at the end, whereas in the Chancery documents associated with the blacking factory which Michael Allen has discovered, Lamerte has the extra ‘e’ throughout. See M. Allen, Charles Dickens and the Blacking Factory. St Leonards, Oxford-Stockley, September 2011.
