Cole 22.9.1793
William Cole married Sophia Holcroft in 1794. Of the dates coded to him in the diary, 30.1.1796 and 14.2.1796 should be removed as Mrs Cole only; 10.10.1801 "Coles sups" is ambiguous and 15.3.1830 Coles (at Kenney's) may refer to him if he was by then divorced and with a new wife or some of his children; or he may have died by then.
12.9.1799 Coleman at tea (& Keir) / 27.9.1799 meet Coleman / 5.6.1800 call on Christie (incog) & Colman (do) / 18.6.1800 call on Colman (not in) / 5.8.1800 Colman at Wallace's trial (in Ireland) / 29.8.1811coach (to Chichester) with mrs Colman & daughter
Possibly George Colman the younger DNB 1762-1836. A full text search of the DNB for Coleman shows a number of instances of George Colman's name (senior or junior) being spelt Coleman. The "incog" may be connected with Holcroft's belief that his name and Godwin's were bad publicity for plays they had written. George…

Presumably Sara nee Fricker 1770-1845 see Samuel Taylor Coleridge DNB 1772-1834. The Coleridges dined at Godwin's on Christmas Day, five days later

Perhaps Isaac Colles printer Dublin Book Trades 1766-1813 or perhaps Abraham Colles DNB 1773-1843 surgeon at the Meath St Charitable Dispensary, Dublin, these two probably related, both from Kilkenny, or perhaps Richard Colles who subscribed to Reports of Cases (Dublin law courts) 1798, or John Colles barrister of Kinsale who married the daughter of John Rashleigh of Burrin in Jan 1807 or William Colles who married miss Tobin of Swanlinton…

John Collick a Westminster JP of 85 St Martin's Lane and near the Plough, Clapham, his will PCC 1807 but dated 1799 mentions his friends William Shields, John Crosdill, and Mr Clementi as well as other musicians. Major Henry Waller who was at Holcroft's musical gathering 6.7.92 and left his watch to Crosdill in his will of 1794 also made Collick his executor.

mrs Collins 13.6.1801 at Carlisle's / 20.1.1806 miss Collins at Rowan's
I have left aside for now the forty or so Collins entries between 1817 and 1827, all but the first one were miss Collins or E Collins (who were probably one person). The miss Collins at Rowan's above could have been the same person but there was a gap of eleven years. Meanwhile I have no idea yet who either of the two above were either

Francois Isidore Le Roy 1742-1811 Comte de Barde fled to England 1792.

Perhaps Knowles had some gossip about them?
