Actors £7 10s Internal Mr. Wroughton BD vol. 16, p. 299 seems to suggest that Wroughton's second stint as stage manager began in 1800, but it was only from the 1804-05 season onwards that account books called him "Manager", and his salary payments 1800-04 suggest he was only an actor during that period.

Singers 15s Internal Mr. Gibbon BD vol. 6, pp. 167-9 expresses uncertainty over the timeline of the Gibbons, but speculates that the actor, Mr Gibbon, was paid until the end of 1802-03, at which point the singer, James Deverell Gibbon, began to be paid in his stead. But the nature of the payments, and the fact that Gibbon was paid sometimes with the singer Elliott in 1801-02, suggest that BD is mistaken, and that James Deverell Gibbon was the recipient as early as 1801-02.
