Joseph Lancaster DNB 173-1838 educationist was probably the lecturer of 1809. The nearest lecture to that date by him I found in newspapers was on 3.8.1809 at the Jews Chapel Spitalfields, but he was giving many lectures in those years and often with free admission. There was clearly another Lancaster (broker) in Godwin's diary, who could have been all the entries after 26.9.1809, especially the one with the sum of money. The educationist was probably the Lancaster at Phillips' in 1807, though he printed his own books and Phillips didn't publish them, and perhaps the calls between then and the lecture in 1809. Holdens 1805 J Lancaster stockbroker 27 Surry St Strand, Holdens 1811 Jos Lancaster stockbroker 28 Princes St Bank. He may have been the Joseph Lancaster who married Sarah the daughter of Joseph Jacob on 23.6.1801 (see my entry for Jacob, Joseph). A Joseph Lancaster of Fish St Hill (where Jacob lived) had married miss Tanner of Stratford on 12.5.1793. He may also have been the Joseph Lancaster Esq of Michaels Grove Brompton Holdens 1811, and/or the Joseph Lancaster gent of Hackney will PCC 1833. There was also a Jonathan Lancaster insurance broker, late of Papcastle but now of Gt St Helens London, in 1814 (Cumbria Archives PR 162/47).
