Davis, Dr & Mr

Submitted by edpope on

2.4.1810 dine at Tipper's, Cumberland, Bligh, Dr & mr Davis,  H Robinson, Crowe & J Richter

Perhaps David Daniel Davis DNB 1777-1841 or perhaps John Bunnell Davis DNB 1777-1824. Less likely John Ford Davis DNB 1773-1864. Another (medical?) doctor in London (Holdens 1811) was Dr John Davis 23 Cato-st, Edgware-rd. See my entry for Bligh

Horrocks

Submitted by edpope on

26.3.1810 Horrocks calls

Possibly the MP for Preston and cotton manufacturer Samuel Horrocks History of Parliament 1766-1842 or his son Samuel 1782-1817 who was buried at Chiselhurst, Kent. His address in his will and his father's in 1811 directory was cotton manufacturers of 9 Bread-st Cheapside. No other Horrocks in London trades directory 1811or in bbti. A Christopher Horrocks was discharged from the Kings Bench debtors' prison in 1809

 

Maddocks

Submitted by edpope on

23.3.1810 dine at Johnson's, w. Maddocks

This was quite possibly William Alexander Madocks DNB 1773-1828 Whig MP for Boston famous for reclaiming land at Tremadoc in Wales and quite an enthusiatic reformer. One of his brothers Joseph was active in amateur theatricals, the eldest brother John Edward cut his own throat in 1806. There was a Richard Maddocks auctioneer at Coleman-st buildings, a Henry Maddock barrister of Lincolns Inn whose son Henry put himself forward as a candidate to succeed Fox in Westminster 1806, and a Walter Maddocks c.1745-1823 actor on the London stage

Domville

Submitted by edpope on

25.3.1810 call on Domville (for C Ft)

Probably Alderman William Domville 7 New Ormond-st 1742-1833 had been bookseller and Master of the Stationers Company, became Lord Mayor of London 1813. I suggest that C Ft was Charlotte widow of Joseph Fawcett DNB 1758-1804 and it should be added to her person record on GD website (although she hadn't appeared in Godwin's diary since her husband died in 1804, but he noted her death in 1824, when she was living in Hornsey-road). Domville was from St Albans and Mrs Fawcett from nearby Ware, so that might suggest a connection.

Holman, Jane

Submitted by edpope on

17.3.1810 call on Reynolds; adv. mrs Holman

At a call on the playwright Frederick Reynolds this was quite likely Jane the wife of Joseph George Holman DNB 1764-1817. If so she was dead three months later at age 41
