Doctor?

[edit]

The 1739 royal charter of the Foundling Hospital lists a "Dr. Benjamin Hoadley" whose "Place of Abode" is "Charles Street, St James's Square" as a founding governor. Would that be this Benjamin Hoadly? The article says nothing about him having the title "Dr." Pontus rosen 12:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably his son, also called Benjamin Hoadly, (1706–1757), physician and playwright according to Oxford DNB. Tim! (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recently the file File:Benjamin Hoadly by Sarah Hoadly.jpg (right) was uploaded and it appears to be relevant to this article and not currently used by it. If you're interested and think it would be a useful addition, please feel free to include it. Dcoetzee 23:47, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
