I googled Wraxall and found this:

Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall, 1st Baronet (8 April 1751 – 7 November 1831), English author, was born in Queen Square, Bristol.

He was the son of a Bristol merchant, Nathaniel Wraxall, and his wife Anne, great niece of Sir James Thornhill the painter. He entered the employment of the East India Company in 1769, and served as judge-advocate and paymaster during the expeditions against Gujarat and Baroche in 1771. In the following year he left the service of the company and returned to Europe.
Wraxall married Miss Jane Lascelles in 1789, and died suddenly at Dover on the 7th of November 1831. His grandson, Sir FC Lascelles Wraxall (1828-1865), was a miscellaneous writer of some note. (I would say he is the Frederick Charles that Joan found the birth of in 1853)
