The Original Bloomsbury Group

According to Leonard  Woolf (Downhill All The Way, c. 1967), Bloomsbury came "into existence in the three years 1912 to 1914 ... of the thirteen members of Old Bloomsbury, as we came to call it, only eight at that time actually lived in Bloomsbury: Clive and Vanessa in Gordon Square and Virginia, Adrian, Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, and myself  in Brunswick Square, with Saxon Sydney Turner in Great Ormond Street. It was not until Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, and Morgan Forster came into the locality, so that we were all continually meeting one another, that our society became complete, and that did not happen  until some years after the war ... the war banished us to the outer suburb of Richmond ... in March 1920 we started the Memoir Club and on March 6 we met in Gordon Square, dined together, and listened to or read our memoirs." -- p. 114.

Leonard refers to "the original thirteen members of the Memoir Club" but I count only eleven. Who were the other two?

Stanford Patrick Rosenbaum (The Bloomsbury Group, c. 1975) writes that the other two were Molly and Desmond MacCarthy. Rosenbaum also notes that Sydney Waterlow was a member of the Memoir Club but not a member of the Bloomsbury Group; Quentin Bell states that Adrian Stephen was not a member of the Memoir Club. But there you have it: the original thirteen with a fourteenth name.

Leonard continues, "The years went by and the Club changed as the old inhabitants died and the younger generation were elected. The last meeting took place, I think, in 1956, 36 years after the first meeting. Only four of the original thirteen members were left, though in all ten members came to the meeting." -- p. 115.

It was during the meetings of 1923 that Virginia Woolf decided to move from Richmond (Hogarth House) back to Bloomsbury, and on January 9, 1924, the Woolfs signed a 10-year lease for 52 Tavistock Square (eventually destroyed in 1940 by one of Hitler's earliest bombs).
