(faux?) G Moore 14.3.1798 in coach from Bath to London

A closer look at naval records at Kew might pinpoint whether Capt Graham Moore DNB 1764-1843 might have been going from Bath to London on that day. Certainly he had been present at the Fountain Inn Plymouth on 5.2.1798 for a meeting of navy captains, after capturing several enemy vessels already that year, this from the newspapers. Godwin had met him 15 times in the years 1794-7 and knew his father and brothers as well. So what made Godwin think his fellow passenger on a long coach journey might not be the real Graham Moore?
