Harmer, Samuel

21.07.1796 S Harmer sups (in Norwich, at James Alderson's?)

Samuel Harmer attorney (see Jewson, Jacobin City p135). He was apprenticed 1742 to John Cooper attorney of Norwich, was listed in Bailey's 1784 as attorney of Cockey Lane, Norwich, died 31.12.1808 aged nearly 80, newspaper obituary said he was for many years the speaker of Common Council


Harmer, Thomas

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1780 and in 1794 version

Thomas Harmer DNB 1714-1788 mentioned in W St Clair, The Godwins and the Shelleys, as one of the ministers Godwin came into conflict with at Stowmarket


Harrington

Fillingham (& L Harrington) 20.1.1804 at theatre / 27.11.1804 la Harrington at Wake's / 27.1.1805 again / 18.3.1805 again / 16.5.1805 sir Edward Harrington at Wake's

Because the three la(dy) Harringtons at Wake's were followed by Sir Edward at Wake's I assume she was his wife and so the L(ord) Harrington at the theatre was probably Charles Stanhope DNB 1753-1829 3rd Earl of Harrington, army general and courtier (gold stick in waiting). Sir Edward Harrington (also spelt Harington) was the Mayor of Bath (where Wake had lived) knighted in 1795, "son of the physician" (Edward…


Harris

7.4.1795 mes Harris at Foulkes' / 23.5.1797 Harris at Carlisle's / 19.12.1797 Harris (& Aldis) call / 23.2.1798 Harris (& Carlisle) call / 2.9.1798 Harris at Tooke's / 24.12.1799 call on Harris . In Godwin's 1796 list for 1799 / 30.1.1800 Harris adv at Sarah Elwes' (& Mrs Holcombe)

These are the Harris entries up to 1800 which the GD website has not coded to Thomas Harris, manager of Covent Garden theatre. Some of them may have been him but perhaps not as when he was dealing with Thomas Harris, Godwin was sending, writing, hearing from him through James Marshall, or…


Harris of Aylesbury

13.6.1809 Harris of Aylesbury calls

Probably John Harris, son of John Turner Harris (will PCC 1798). studied Homerton Academy, dissenting minister at Aylesbury 1777-1815, married 28.11.1777 at Holborn, Mary dau of Dr James Watson 1713-1783, died 1.12.1829 in London age 75 (will PCC 1830)


Harry

Harry 15.3.1797 at Robert Knight's

Although Harry can be a surname ( 1790 H Harry bookseller and dealer in curiosities 379 Strand / 1784 Dr John Harry Bodmin Cornwall) in this case it may refer to Robert Knight's younger brother Henry Raleigh Knight his will PCC 1836 Lt Genl of Portman St Portman Sq. He married at St Geo Han Sq 1.12.1808 Juliana Botti who d 1859 age 79 their son Charles Raleigh Knight married in 1856, their eldest dau Juliana born 1811 married 1840 died at Rome 1854, their youngest dau Caroline Emily married in 1850.

Clearly Horne Tooke's daughters Mary & Charlotte Hart, though possibly their mother was sometimes included in Harts plural. The entry at Foulkes' in 1796 was the only singular one and the only one where Tooke wasn't there and the fact that Hart was not included…

Perhaps James son of Travers Hartley Dict Irish Biog 1723-1786 Dublin merchant. / Dublin Trades 1797 James Hartley merchant, William Hartley haberdasher & silk merchant / Henry Hartley barrister = Apr 1798 Lady Louisa Lumley dau of Earl of Scarborough (Irish marriages).

See GD website person record for Francis Rawdon Hastings, 1st Earl Moira and his DNB entry 1754-1826. Godwin noted calling on Moira twice in Ireland in 1800 (which could possibly mean his mother Lady Moira who, unlike him, appeared in Godwin's 1796 list and whose death Godwin noted as Countess of Moira in 1808) but noted Lord Moira's death in 1826 as Hastings. Moira also appeared in brackets with Byron & Rogers at Coleridge's lecture on 20.1.1812.…

Hatchet Lane

28.11.1808 write to Hatchet Lane

Probably means to the Boinvilles, or possibly to the Newtons. Hatchet Lane runs northeast from near Bracknell towards Windsor. The Boinvilles are said to have lived at Bracknell but I'm not sure if their exact address is known.


Hatchett, Charles

21.3.1792 Hatchet at Holcroft's.

This is likely to have been Charles Hatchett 1765-1847 chemist and mineralogist who married Elizabeth daughter of John Collick a Westminster magistrate. Godwin met Collick at Shield's 27.11.1794, and Collick mentioned Shield, Crosdill and Clementi in his will (PCC 1807) and is mentioned as well as Crosdill in the will (PCC 1794) of Henry Waller (see 6.7.1792). Another possibility is that it was Horatio McGeorge, an eccentric actor known as Hatchet after one of his roles (Highfill, Burnim and Langhans)
