<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 535766, member: 4580&quot;]<i>Are you referring to &quot;Piebald Boy,&quot; George Alexander?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mrs. Newsham was an albino black African-Jamaican woman who was exhibited at Bartholomew Fair in 1795 and was known as the ‘White Negress’. Born in Jamaica, she was sent as a gift from her owner to his son in London. She was sold on to two men who exhibited her across England. She continued to exhibit herself after she gained her freedom and met and married an Englishman, with whom she had six children. She worked for Hall&#039;s Exhibition at the Curiosity House, as part of Hall&#039;s Exhibition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your information is interesting.&nbsp; To supplement a bit, odd sorts of people were used in the exhibition and outside the building, as barkers in the street which jogged around the building which predated the street. Or maybe that was the building in which Pidcock&#039;s Exhibition was housed.&nbsp; I get Hall&#039;s and Pidcocks a bit confused, not being a 1795 Londoner.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1590, Essex House had been recorded as having 42 bedrooms, plus a picture gallery, kitchens, outhouses, a banqueting suite and a chapel.&nbsp; And there was an Exeter House, and Exeter Exchange, apparently called Exeter Change (for short?)&nbsp; See Pidcock&#039;s Exhibition farthing token below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/NewMiddlesex1067EXPERIMENTALframe3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are areas I&#039;ll have to research again since I have obviously forgotten exactly what I read.&nbsp; Perhaps you have more to offer, or can find some more. I&#039;ll try to edit this one or make additional posts if I find out more, again.&nbsp; LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your responses.&nbsp; Perhaps we&#039;ll figure this out together as a group, but I have not captured a record of the many Conder-relatled websites I have visited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
