3.8.1796 call on Newton n(ot in)

In GD website coded to Rev Samuel Newton but since Godwin was in London more probably John Frank Newton.

Harriet Collins married Chastel de Boinville in 1793 and her sister Cornelia Collins married John Frank Newton in 1799. Cornelia Boinville was born 1795 and John Collins de Boinville in 1797. I read that Chastel died fighting with the French in Russia in 1813 but I haven't confirmed this, nor found when Harriet Boinville died. The Newtons' children were Augustus born 1802, Octavia bapt 1804 at Mansell Lacy, Herefordshire, Camilla born 1804…

5.3.1791 Nichols at B Hollis has been coded in GD website to John Nichols of the Gentleman's Magazine but the 1796 list (and the 1794 version) had Nichols MP early in 1791 so this would have to have been John Nicholls 1745-1832 (History of Parliament) a signatory to the Friends of the People 11.4.1792. This also puts in doubt the other dates coded to John Nichols except the one recording his death, and there were no other Nichols in the 1796 list. 3.1.1794, 6.6.1794, 17.6.1794, 27.11.1794, 29.11.1794, 16.12.1794, 20.12.1794 and 25.5.1795; six of these were associated with Willis Webb (…

1786 subscribers to HMWilliams' poems Rev Norton Nicholls, Mrs Nicholls. As the Rev Norton Nicholls DNB -1807 never married this may have been his mother Jane nee Floyer. Might also have been his cousin Philippa Nicholls baptised 5.12.80 Tickhill, Yorks mentioned (in Hester Piozzi? or Joanna Baillie? letters online - sorry lost this ref) as recovering at Hot Wells 1795 died unmarried 1797
 

20.7.1796  trials : Nichols v Beckham

1.12.1795 at miss Godwin's

unlikely to be the same as the female Nichols at miss Williams' in 1789

write to Nicholson (P H) 4.8.1804

Coded in GD website to William Nicholson DNB 1753-1815 which may well be correct but in that case what did P H stand for? Godwin may have used PH to distinguish this person from his usual Nicholson. I wondered if P H stood for Political Herald this could have been a former colleague of Godwin's

2.3.1789 Nicol & Potts at Robinson's / 9.3.1789 same pair at Hamilton's. In 1794 version of Godwin's 1796 list, Nicol near end of 1787, left out of 1796 version.

George Nicol DNB 1740-1828 bookseller and James Potts (R Pollard, Dublin Book Trade 1733-96) seem a likely pair to have been dining with these publishers (and see Jenkins, Caleb)
