Lubbock refers to the accounts for the Down National School for boys and to Ellen Frances Lubbock. In a letter to J. B. Innes of 1 December 1868 (Correspondence vol. 16), CD wrote that he had handed over the school accounts to John Warburton Robinson, who had recently become curate of Down, but that Robinson had gone to Ireland for an extended stay and that parishioners were afraid in any case to pay subscriptions to Robinson. CD evidently had taken charge of the accounts in Robinson’s absence (see letter to J. W. Robinson, 1 February 1869 and n. 1). This incident was the latest in a series of problems with the curacy (see Correspondence vol. 16).

Lubbock had seven brothers (Burke’s peerage 1999).

The clerk has not been identified.
