Actors £25 Internal Mr. & Mrs. Pope
Actors £15 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.

Doorkeepers and Officekeepers £2 Internal Mr. Thompson
Doorkeepers and Officekeepers £1 Internal Mr. Graham
Employees (Other) £34 1s Internal Dale for Servants Dale's list of payees sometimes included performers, hence its categorisation here as "Employees (Other)" rather than "House Servants (Other)".
House Servants (Other) £1 10s Internal Mr. Smith Likely to be either Mr Smith the officekeeper (p. 130) or Mr Smith the dresser (p. 131), described in BD vol. 14. However, there are issues with both: BD states that the officekeeper finished working at Drury Lane in 1800, and the dresser was only paid 9s. per week in 1801, whereas the recipient here worked in the 1802-03 season at £ 10s. per week. Perhaps the term "new engagement" used in the first payment to him (6 November 1802) suggests that it was the old officekeeper, who had left in 1800 but returned. Or perhaps neither identification is correct, and this was a different Smith.
House Servants (Other) 15s Internal Mr. Potts
Housekeeping £2 Internal Mrs. Fosbrook
Performers (Other) £12 Internal Miss Decamp Maria Theresa De Camp, who acted, sung and danced.

Performers (Other) £1 Internal Mrs. Parson Her pay, and the employment of a singer named Mr Parsons at Drury Lane several years later, suggest that Mrs Parsons may have been a singer. She was certainly a performer, as listed amongst the female performers at the start of Drury Lane's 1802-03 account book.

Singers £1 10s Internal Mr. Gibbons 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.
