9.5.1790 Staunton at Paradise's and 23.5.1790 there.

Sir George Leonard Staunton DNB 1737-1801 Fellow of Royal Society is a likely Paradise guest. Staunton appeared in the 1794 version of Godwin's 1796 list for 1790 (crossed out) but in the 1796 version for 1795. Godwin called on him 9.4.1795. Godwin may have overlooked or forgotten the earlier encounters or perhaps considered the 1790 meetings as insufficient contact (see Wolcot, John for a similar move)
