Employees (Other) 10s Internal Osborne Do [5 days] Perhaps the dancer of that name, described in BD vol. 11, p. 120. This Osborne was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such.
House Servants (Other) £1 5s Internal Mr. Perry 5 days Perry was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Perry was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Jarvis Do [5 days] BD vol. 8, p. 139 suggests Jarvis was a housekeeper and pit officekeeper, and this may have been his salary in only one of those capacities.
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Driscol Do [5 days]
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Browse Do. [5 days] Browse was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Browse was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Smith Do [5 days] Smith was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Smith was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Bayley Do [5 days] Bayley was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Bayley was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 7s 6d Internal Rabbitt Do. [5 days] Rabbitt was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Rabbitt was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
Housekeeping £1 Internal Page a Week's Sallary Mr Page, identified as a housekeeper in the 1740-41 account book.
Performers (Other) £26 5s Internal Mr Carata the Turk 3d weeks Sallary
Performers (Other) £186 12s 6d Internal [performers' payroll entries here aggregated] This payroll seems to have included a few people who were not performers, but most of them were. Moreover, the payment record of 10 May 1750 shows that it was conceived as the performers' list; and even the non-performers were perhaps more related to performance than most house servants were, such as John Stede the prompter.
Treasurers 16s 8d Internal White Do [5 days]
Dressers £3 9s 2d Internal Women Dressers Do [5 days]
Tailoring £2 4s 10d Departmental Meares Taylor a Bill
Wardrobe (Other) £5 5s Departmental Mr Gwinn on acct. BD vol. 6, pp. 454-55 describes William Gwinn and his son, Mr Gwinn, working as officekeepers and doorkeepers at CG, and William's wife/widow, Lucy Gwinn, running a silk dyeing business and also working for CG's wardrobe in some capacity. Yet CG paid a Mr Gwinn numerous times 1746-50, after William's death, "on acct.", and once for "the ballance of his Bill for Dying &c". It therefore seems that William and Lucy's son was involved in dyeing and other clothes-related work.
Miscellaneous £46 3d Departmental By the Nightly Charge
