JANE married Charles Ward, the secretary at Drury Lane 
Theatre. There is a crayon portrait of her at Dulwich, by Sir 
Thos. Lawrence. 
CHARLOTTE died young. 
WituraM, the youngest, entered St. Paul’s School, London, in 
1785, his age being there recorded as fourteen, He afterwards 
joined the Civil Service of the East India Company, retiring in 
1796. He was a musical composer and from time to time visited 
Bath, being a joint proprietor of St. Margaret’s chapel, where his 
anthems were performed: He wrote the rhymned epitaph on the 
Linley tablet now in the cloisters of Wells cathedral, and he 
printed, in 1819, a small volume which bears an unusually

_ “Sonnets and Odes, by William Linley esq. late in the Civil 
- Service of the East India Company, and the late Charles Leftley 
parliamentary reporter to the Zimes newspaper, both educated at 
St. Paul’s School.” 
This is the same Charles Leftley who wrote the Dirge on 
Maria. He died in 1797, aged 27. William died in London 
6th May, 1835, aged 64, and is buried in St. Paul’s, Covent 
Garden, where a tablet on the north wall within, towards the east 
and above that of his mother records the fact. There is a portrait 
of him in the Dulwich Gallery as a pretty youth by Sir Thos. 
‘Lawrence. There is another somewhere, in later life, by Lonsdale. 
This has been engraved. 
_ And now comes the last eventful history, that of the parents. 
‘From the time of his daughter Elizabeth’s successful débit, until 
1772, Linley’s income was thus suddenly very largely increased, 
and his career generally marvellously assisted by this especially 
gifted child. He with the harpsichord, his sons with violin and 
cello, and the daughters with their voices made up this attractive 
‘and celebrated family. So, then, with conducting oratorios, a 
‘style of music wherein his family especially excelled, and com-
