Amelia, 1794-1861, eldest daughter of Joseph Hume married 17.5.1823 William Bunnett, of Fulham, surgeon. They had a son William Thomas Hume Bunnett. I couldn't find William Bunnett's death but Amelia was living with her father Joseph in 1841 census and listed as widow living with her son in 1851 census

Robert son of Francis Burdett DNB 1770-1844 born 16.4.1796 died 1880 and his sister Sophia who married 23.10.1833 Robert Otway Cave and died 1849

B Jones 9.3.1806 at Tooke's

This may have referred to Sir Francis Burdett, who after the death of his aunt Lady Jones, "took the name of Jones by royal licence 5.4.1800 but only briefly affected it" (historyofparliamentonline) or possibly to his younger brother William Jones Burdett 1774-1840. Both have person records in the GD website, and Godwin had several times…

22.5.1796 Northmore, Burdon call / 29.4.1800 Burdons at Foulkes' / 30.12.1802 Northmore & Burdon call / 6.1.1803 at Northmore's with W Burdon

Burgh 12.3.1795 at Gerald's.

Rev Richard Burgh of Dublin aged 30 was convicted in 1793 along with Townley Macan and others of a conspiracy to blow up the King's Bench prison. He doesn't seem to have been in Newgate in 1795 but may have been an inmate of the Giltspur St Compter with Gerald

dr Burke 3.7.1800 (at Curran's) / 12.7.1800 again / 27.7.1800 again / 2.8.1800 again

A Dr Burke of the United Irishmen stood bail along with the Hon Simon Butler Dict Irish Biog 1757-1797 for Archibald Hamilton Rowan when he was arrested in 1792 and a Dr Burke was one of the Catholic gentlemen arrested in August 1811 for contravening the Convention Act along with Dr Edward Sheridan who was acquitted and Thomas Kirwan Dict Irish Biog 1772-1852.

f 46r of Vol VII of Godwin's diary after 24.9.1796 and before the "1796 list": Burke inherits £300 per annum, obtained by his elder brother in the character of a discoverer. C

Edmund Burke DNB 1730-1797 according to which he inherited in 1765 from his brother Garrett a small estate in Clogher co. Cork. Not sure what is meant by discoverer or who C was, presumably the source of the story, maybe Calonne, Canning, Carlisle, Coleridge or Cooper

THOMAS BURKE 1749-1815
CURRENT TEXT "He died in London on 31 December 1815."
SUGGESTED CHANGE <He died in London in 1815 and was probably the Thomas Burke buried at St Marylebone on 30 July 1815 aged 66.>
NOTES See Gents Mag 1816 vol.1 p.89 where there is a heading '31 December 1815' followed by a different death notice, followed by another heading 'Lately', followed by the notice of Burke's death.

Burne's, Carlow 4.8.1800 tea / 8.8.1800 dine at Burne's (not in Carlow?) / 2.10.1800 (in London) meet Burne / 8.10.1800 meet Burne, Dogherty & Goold / 27.9.1804 Burne at H Rowan's / 20.9.1805 Burne & Curran dine / 9.10.1805 call on Curran (not in), Burne (not in)

Since Godwin began the day of 8.8.1800 seeing St Cavan's Bed at Glendalough nr Wicklow and then returned to the Dublin area it seems unlikely that he went back to Carlow to dine (and this is confirmed by his letter Bodleian Abinger c6 f36v) so the Burne's of 8.8.1800 was probably a different venue from that of 4.8.…

I made lots of notes on families of this name but don't seem to have found any plausible identification yet

Elisha Burnet of Richmond plumped for Burdett

Only references to this name I found were in US, so he may possibly have emigrated there but some of the EB references in US were pre-1802

19.3.1808 call on Burney,designer

Edward Francisco Burney DNB 1760-1848. At that time a designer was an artist who made drawings for engravers and this is just what E F Burney did. After this call Godwin then called on Burney's cousin Martin Burney
