Marie Louise Mignot Marie Louise Mignot Marie Louise Mignot (1712–1790) was a French literary figure. She was the daughter of Voltaire's sister, Catherine Arouet (1686–1726) and her husband Pierre-François Mignot (d. 1737). After the death of her widowed father in 1737, Voltaire provided her with a dowry and she married army supply officer Nicolas-Charles Denis, giving rise to her married name of Madame Denis. After her husband's premature death in 1744, she was taken in by Voltaire and became his housekeeper, hostess and companion. She also adopted his protégée Reine Philiberte de Varicourt when the latter's marriage to the marquis de Villette foundered
Mansfield (All-England cricketer, 1778) Mansfield (All-England cricketer, 1778) Mansfield (first name and dates unknown) was an English first-class cricketer who made a single known appearance for All-England against Chertsey at Laleham Burway on 10–11 September 1778. Mansfield scored 17 runs with a highest score of 15 not out. Mansfield may have played in the return match at the Artillery Ground on 15 September, but no details of that match have survived. As Mansfield had established his reputation by 1778, he must have been active for some years previously. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references
