In Godwin's 1796 list for 1785 Campbell, last and in darker ink, and not in 1794 version. The entry in the 1796 list has not been coded to any person record on the GD website. It may have referred to Thomas Campbell DNB 1733-1795 whom Godwin met in early 1790. According to Campbell's diary (J L Clifford Dr Campbell's Diary of a Visit to England pp 96, 106) he visited London in 1775, 1777, 1781, October 1786, and December 1789. Though the diary had gaps, Campbell specified that the 1786 visit was his fourth visit to London. So if Godwin was referring to Dr Thomas Campbell in his 1796 list,…

Charlotte Bury DNB 1775-1861 (nee Campbell) daughter of the Duke of Argyll, who married her cousin Col John Campbell on 14.6.1796 and married 2ndly Bury in 1818. She has a person record in the GD website as Lady Charlotte Bury with entries from 1826, The miss Campbell at Lady Mary Shepherd's with Lady Charlotte Bury on 6.5.1834 may have been one of Lady charlotte's two youngest daughters who were then still unmarried, Adelaide Constance who married Lord Arthur Lennox on1.7.1835 or Julia Seymour Buccleuch who married…

Perhaps Donald Campbell DNB 1751-1804 whose will PCC 1804 dated 5.5.1804 mentioned his reputed son William aged 2 or 3 years and Augusta Kendall, probably the mother. His legitimate son Frederick William is also in DNB 1782-1846 so could have been included in the plural Campbells as well as his mother Mary whose dates are not given in DNB

14.07.1788 see Canning. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1787 Canning, and in 1794 version. George Canning has a person record in the GD website but the 1796 list entry has not been coded to it.

George Canning DNB 1770-1827 would have been 18 years old and just finished his first year at Christ Church, Oxford when Godwin saw him. The Canning in the 1796 list for 1787 may have been him or possibly his uncle Stratford Canning (QV* in Society for Constitutional Information dataset) member of SCI who died in May 1787. Perhaps Godwin was introduced to George Canning, who already enjoyed some…

mrs Cannon 15.3.1795 at King's / 22.3.1795 there / 14.11.1804 call on mrs Cannons / Cannon calls 24.1.1815

On 16.1.1791 Cannon contributed £50 (one of the largest donations) to the Socy of Const Info's subscription to relieve the French. Since Carbine also gave £50 these may have been joke names ( a rather dangerous political joke). A Mrs Cannon of Little Chelsea kept a seminary for young ladies (post-1800) (DNB J G H Jay 1770-1849). Edward Bacon Cannon attorney of Leicester Pl Soho voted Paull 1806 Burdett 1818. Cannons was a surname though far less frequent than Cannon, e.g. John…

His brother or nephew Thomas was a a steward at Horne Tooke's election meeting 1796, but Thomas Capel attorney of 17 Crown St Westminster voted for Gardner in 1796, perhaps a turncoat or father and son. Henry Capel's nephew James was a broker of Worship St, Shoreditch, in 1778, and…

31.3.1795 Casey at King's (= Carey see original) /16.9.1795 Cary at John King's / 23.11.1795 House of Commons with Cary

The entries at King's were surely Captain John Carey later Viscount Falkland, (as all Carey entries at King's have been coded in GD website), and that at the House of Commons very likely him too, Godwin having seen Carey at King's only two days before on 21.11.1795. The topic of debate in the House on 23.11.1795 was the so called "two bills", for the security of the King, and against seditious meetings, and the many petitions for and against them.
