The Madden Family in 1826
Frederic Madden's journal makes reference to several of his family members, including his parents, siblings and cousins. These people provided him with both practical and emotional support throughout 1826. In 1770, Frederic's paternal grandfather, James Madden (1727-1812) had built Colehill House at Fulham, and in 1826 this was occupied by Frederic's uncle, George Allen Madden (1771-1828). Frederic frequently walked out to Fulham to visit him.
