Here's an open version of the same database: http://www.hermit.org/Eclipse/when_search.shtml I've downloaded the raw file, and after searching for total lunar eclipses from Dec 19 to Dec 23, post Oct 15 1582(before that, Julian dates are used), I've found the following "solstice eclipse" candidates:
1638|12|21|01:59|L|T|N-|119||-0.139|2.632|1.605|12960|5760||| 1703|12|23|06:30|L|T|S-|120||0.025|2.891|1.763|14160|6360||| 1768|12|23|15:07|L|T|S-|121||0.060|2.770|1.757|12840|6000||| 1945|12|19|02:20|L|T||124||-0.284|2.355|1.348|12360|4800||| 1964|12|19|02:37|L|T||134||0.380|2.171|1.180|11760|3600||| 2010|12|21|08:17|L|T||125||0.321|2.306|1.261|12600|4440||| Doing the same for the other solstice date span: 1815|06|21|18:06|L|T||117||0.450|2.083|1.013|12480|1080||| 1834|06|21|08:20|L|T|N-|127||-0.258|2.406|1.393|12840|5160||| 1880|06|22|13:50|L|T||118||-0.448|2.030|1.070|11520|2280||| 1899|06|23|14:18|L|T|S-|128||0.217|2.463|1.488|12600|5400||| Now solstice dates must be found for those years, and compared considering UT timezones. I would also consider that any event that happens 12 hours before or after the solstice moment, happens on the same "day".
