William Frederick Wells

Susannah Thrale and watercolourist William Frederick Wells did not marry. She "joined him at his house" , Ashgrove Cottage, in June of 1807. Her family were not pleased with the arrangement . Wells' name is not mentioned anywhere in the family correspondence. He was a drawing instructor to young aristocrats and had exhibited at the Royal Academy. He founded the Society of Painters in Watercolours. Thrales of Streatham Park, pp 275-276.
Susannah's mother Hester Lynch Thrale (later Piozzi) refers to Wells as "Mr Ash Grove".


"At a meeting at the Stratford Coffee House, Oxford St, London, on the 20 Nov 1804, William Frederick Wells initiated the establishment of the Society Associated for the Purpose of Establishing an Annual Exhibition of Paintings in Water Colours, in conjunction with the artists William Sawrey Gilpin, Robert Hills, John Claude Nattes, John and Cornelius Varley, Francis Nicholson, Samuel Shelley, William Henry Pyne and Nicholas Pocock. By the time of their first exhibition in April 1805, it had become known as the Society of Painters in Water Colours, and had gained six more members. The success of this exhibition, which enjoyed 12,000 visitors, encouraged its development into an annual event." http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cgi-bin/search2?coll_id=7203&inst_id=66
