[BAGWELL, CHARLES ; b.         ; apparently living at Clonmel, co.Tipperary, when he served as Steward of the Anniversary Dinner in 1803, and, if so, he was doubtless a relative of John and William Bagwell (qvv). But there seems to be no other evidence for the existence of an individual named Charles Bagwell living at Clonmel at this date, and it may well be that the Christian name Charles is an error for John or William (the advertisements for the dinner printed in The Times 22 Feb 1803 and in the Morning Post, 24 Feb 1803, record him simply as “ — Bagwell, Esq.”, and, since in the Morning Postadvertisement his name is printed below that of Charles William Bigge (qv), it may incorrectly have been assumed that they had the same first name). Russell Barker and Stenning conflated their entry for Charles Bagwell with that for Bagwell, no Christian name stated, who appears in school lists for 1764, 1765 and 1767, but the Bagwell concerned was evidently John Bagwell (below)]
