Tibet, William c. 17561832, instrumentalist. Born about 1756, William Tibet (or Tebbit, Tebbett, Tibbett) was recommended for membership in the Royal Society of Musicians on 7 April 1782. At that time he was described as about 25, married, (without children), proficient on the violin and viola, and a private musician to the Duke of Marlborough. Tibet played first violin in the Handel Memorial Concerts at Westminster Abbey and the Pantheon in May and June 1784 and viola or violin in the benefit concerts for the clergy at St Paul's in May 1785, 1789, and 1791. Doane's Musical Directory of 1794 noted that Tibet also played the violoncello. He was living "at the Duke of Marlborough's." Mee in The Oldest Music Room in Europe states that Tibet played first violin in the band of the Oxford Musical Society in 1808, but notices of him in the nineteenth century are rare. Tibet petitioned the Royal Society of Musicians for aid on 6 April 1817, and he received a guinea for medical bills in September 1828. The Society granted him £3 for medical aid on 6 March 1831. Jackson's Oxford Journal of 19 May 1832 reported that Tibet had died on 16 May at Headington at the age of 77. The obituary notice declared that Tibet had been in the service of the late Duke of Marlborough for 48 years. Tice, Mr [fl. 17951800], house servant. The Drury Lane accounts and benefit bills mention Mr Tice, one of the house servants, from 5 June 1795 to 14 June 1800. Tickell, Mrs Richard the first. See LINLEY, MARY. Tidd, Mr [fl. 1760], billsticker. A Covent Garden Theatre paylist dated 22 September 1760 cites Mr Tidd as a billsticker earning 2s. daily. Tidswell, Charlotte 17601846, actress. Charlotte Tidswell was born in 1760 and, according to the notebooks of W. J. Lawrence, performed at the Crow Street Theatre in Dublin as early as 176869. Kathleen Barker places her at Bristol, playing pages, in 1776. The first time Miss Tidswell was mentioned in a London playbill was on 24 January 1783, when she played Scentwell in The Busy Body at Drury Lane Theatre. She went on that season to act Leonora in The Mourning Bride, Miss Flack in A Trip to Scotland, Isabella in The Revenge, Jenny in The Tender Husband, a Beggar in The Ladies' Frolick, a Chambermaid in The Clandestine Marriage, Lucy in The Adventures of a Night, and a Chambermaid in Imitation. Her benefit tickets were accepted on 23 May. That first season was fairly typical of the rest of Charlotte Tidswell's long career. With the Drury Lane troupe over the next 39 years she played such parts as Lettice and Eliza in The Plain Dealer, Miss Frolick in The Absent Man, a Shepherdess in Cymon, Prudentia in A Duke and No Duke, Honoria in Love Makes a Man, Night in Amphitryon, Mrs Foresight in Love for Love, Gymp in Bon Ton, Penelope in The Natural Son, Colombine in The Cauldron, Diana and Jenny in The Humorist, Myrtilla and Trusty in The Provok'd Husband, Lady Clifford in The Earl of Warwick, Alithea in The Country Girl, Marmalet in All in the Wrong, Galatea in Philaster, Tiffany in The Heiress, Cephisa in The Distrest Mother, Lady Freelove in The Jealous Wife, Kitty in The Lyar, Madge in The Gentle Shepherd, Altea in Rule a Wife and Have a Wife, Florella in The Orphan, Mrs Fulmer in The West Indian, the Player Queen in Hamlet, Erixene in The Grecian Daughter, the Duchess of York in Richard III, Arante in King Lear, Bianca in Catherine and Petruchio, Charmion in All for Love, Toilet in The Jealous Wife, Lucetta in The Suspicious Husband, Parley in The Constant Couple, and Lettice and Lady Loverule in The Devil to Pay.
