[Mr. St. Croix has also referred Dr. Rimbault to Gay's

Jonas Hanway the philanthropist is reputed first to have used an
"umbrella" in England. I am the more inclined to think it may be so,
as my own father, who was born in 1744, and lived to ninety-two years
of age, has told me the same thing, and he lived in the same parish as
Mr. Hanway, who resided in Red Lion Square.
Mr. Hanway was born in 1712.
