- ^ The date 1741 is cited by Highfill et al. for Bannister's baptism, and the birthdate 1738 is called incorrect on the basis of that record. See P.H. Highfill, K.A. Burnim and E.A. Langhans, 'Bannister, Charles', in A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Dancers, Managers, and other Stage Personnel in London, 1660–1800 (Southern Illinois University Press, 1973), Vol 1: Abaco to Belfille pp. 259–265, at p. 259.
