John Tanner steward Friends of Parliamentary Reform 18.5.1797

call on Tassaert 2.7.1802 with Philips. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 as Tassaret.

Philippe Joseph Tassart 1732-1803 history painter and president of Society of Artists. See Farington's diary (e.g. vol III p795), for his reputation as an art expert which may relate to the purpose of Godwin & Phillips' call (see Miller). On GD website he has a person record and his 1796 list entry is coded to it but not the 1802 entry although the editorial notes refer to it

Clearly some relationship to Charles Clairmont, maybe a trial apprenticeship or some tutoring?

Taylor's 10.9.1805 Finborgh (near Stowmarket)

Mr Taylor of Ringshall nr Stowmarket d1815 age 78, Thomas Taylor buried Stowupland 30.9.1815 age 77. Pleasance wife of Mr W Mumford of Hintlesham Priory died 12.11.1831 age 28, only dau of Mr E Taylor of Ringshall. Finborough is 2 miles west of Stowmarket, Stowupland 1 mile east of it and Ringshall 3 miles south of it, Hintlesham Priory a few miles south of Ringshall. See my entry for Mumford, Mrs. On GD website this entry is coded to John Taylor DNB 1750-1826 which is probably wrong

call on Cha. Taylor 12.7.1804

Perhaps Charles Taylor DNB 1756-1823. According to the DNB he was a deeply conservative man but in 1801 the London Library was moved to his premises at 108 Hatton Garden where it remained for several years, which may have been relevant to the purpose of Godwin's call

call on R Taylor; adv pere 21.5.1803 / 11.5.1804 call on R Taylor adv mere & soeur / 2.8.1805 call on R Taylor; adv Arthur / 16.7.1806 call on R Taylor adv pere mere & A / 19.8.1807 call on R Taylor (adv frere aine) / 8.3.1809 call on R Taylor; adv. Edwd / 16.6.1817 call on R Taylor adv pere

In the 1807 entry above GD website has mistranscribed frere as pere, the two are not that different in Godwin's handwriting. So that entry must have been John Taylor DNB 1779-1863, Richard Taylor's only older brother. The entries in 1803 and 1817 have not been coded, as other similar…

28.11.1794 Taylor Lanc at Gerald's / Taylor 29.11.1794 at Crompton's / 14.12.1796 Taylor Lancastrian at House of Commons

Joseph Farington's Diary vol 4 p1303 (16.11.1799) listed the applicants to be secretary to a Society in the Adelphi; Valentine Green, Walker philosopher, and a Mr Tayler of Lancaster. Unitarian Society list 1792 had a Philip Taylor of Stand, nr Manchester
 

25.5.1798 Taylor Northn calls / 2.6.1798 Taylor Northn calls, talk of self and atheism

George Taylor (1772-1851) father of Henry Taylor (DNB 1800-1886). See Una Taylor, Guests and Memories (1924) p 21 on and the Autobiography of Henry Taylor, The anecdote in Una Taylor's book of Horne Tooke kissing Godwin's hand at Mrs Opie's while George Taylor was present was probably a conflation of stories. Taylor was only in London for a couple of weeks and he apparently met Holcroft and the newly married Mrs Opie. Tooke and Mrs Opie never appeared together in Godwin's diary (except in the…

8.7.1796 call on J Taylor, adv Philip, Morris & mrs W Barnard / 21.7.1796 dine at J Taylor's, with Philip, Samuel, Thomas & T Barnard

Although Philip Taylor DNB 1786-1870 civil engineer was ten years old, these names don't fit his brothers John, Richard, Edward and Arthur, but they do fit the brothers of John Taylor DNB 1750-1826, Philip b1747, Meadows b1755, Samuel b1757 and Thomas b1758, particularly if Meadows by nickname or Godwin's mistake was noted as Morris.

Meadows Taylor married Elizabeth Dyson at Ganton Suffolk in 1793, their son Meadows baptised at Palgrave…

14.1.1807 Sa T sleeps

Should be added on GD website to the person record of Sarah Austin (nee Taylor) (DNB 1793-1867). The entry on the same day of Sarah Taylor dines has been coded to her person record so this is not problematic

26.1.1794 'Opera Taylor' at Perry's. William Taylor c1753-1825 (Highfill, Burnim & Langhans) was the proprietor of the opera house King's Theatre. See R B O'Reilly An Authentic Narrative...(1791); Price Milhous & Hume, Italian opera ...vol 1(1995); DNB John Gallini 1728-1805

call on Teague 28.2.1805

This was probably John Teague who succeeded his father John as keeper of Poultry St compter 27.4.1803 and was transferred to the Giltspur St compter (Morning Chronicle 22.9.1804) where he died 17.7.1841 his will PCC 1841. On 23.1.1805 Godwin had visited his former tenant Edward Ball (see Ball) at the Giltspur St compter and was perhaps having twinges of conscience for evicting him, anyway Teague wasn't in and never appeared in the diary again

call on Tebbut 13.4.1804

see work notes below

Taygart 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's / 28.9.1800 call on Tegart (at Wimbledon) / 6.10.1800 Tegart at theatre (& Curran) / 18.10.1803 call on Tegart, Curran expected / 22.10.1803 Tegart adv at Curran's / 3.11.1806 at theatre / 3.5.1813 at Curran's / 12.7.1815 call on / 8.9.1815 meet / 9.10.1917 at Curran's / 11.10.1817 again / 12.10.1817 again / 15.10.1817 again / 4.11.1817 at Curran's funeral / 12.9.1818 steamboat for Southend / 8.10.1818 at theatre / 22.4.1820 again / 27.8.1820 meet / 18.5.1824 call on

Clearly a friend of Curran's, probably pronounced Taygart. Arthur Tegart…

15.7.1796 mes Temple & Arthur at Raven's / 8.1.1797 mes Temple at King's / 17.9.1804 call on Jo(seph) G(odwin) & H(olcrof)t (or Harriet?) : Curran calls n(ot in). adv. Temples / 1.10.1824 call on Lemon, SPO adv  Upcot, Temple / 19.10.1831 dine at Uwins with miss Temple

Temple was a fairly frequent surname among Norfolk farmers. Of the later four entries in London, that of 1804 may have been the Norfolk connection Temples if they were visiting Joseph Godwin, the diary entry seems ambiguous as to where the "adv" was.

Templeton 29.5.1797 adv at Bail M(arshall)

John Henry Templeton 5th Baron Templeton married 7.10.1796 Mary daughter of John Montagu 5th Earl of Sandwich (see Sandwich). Godwin went with Basil Montagu, illegitimate son of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, to bail James Marshall. At present I don't know where or what Marshall's offence might have been, but it does look as if Basil Montagu asked his half brother, and his son-in-law, both peers of the realm, to come along, and that must have added considerable weight in Marshall's favour

Terry 16.7.1800 at Reeves's / 20.7.1800 at Webb's

Terry 17.12.1794 at Crisp's.

Christopher Terry of Kingston, Surrey swore to handwriting of John Crisp's will 1803.
