Elizabeth Dallison's lodgings, Throgmorton Street, London
Elizabeth Dallison definitely lodged at Throgmorton Street from 1663 to her death in March 1665/66. Several of her letters to her brother, Sir George Oxenden, are marked "ffrogmorton street."
However, the exact address and size of her lodgings is unknown. Though a widow, and living apart from married son Maximilian and probably from her surviving married daughter Mary Smith, the lodgings are likely to have been of reasonable size, as would befit a woman of some social stature. Elizabeth entertained friends and merchants at her lodgings in Throgmorton Street, and maintained a household of at least two servants - Sarah Waynman and XXXXX. On one occasion a niece visited from Stonepitt, Kent, and stayed for several months.
Elizabeth may well have lodged at this address somewhat earlier, though in the late 1650s she appears to have lodged elsewhere, possibly on or near Ludgate Hill, which may have been at or near the house of her relative Tobell Aylmer, a former East Indies merchant.
