19.4.1802 write to Geo King / 20.4.1802 again
Abinger c7 f115-20 has George King's letter to Godwin of 17.4.1802 from Liverpool and his two further letters of 21.4.1802 and 22.4.1802. He was clearly a son of John King DNB c1753-1824, perhaps by a Scotch woman (Mary Barbara Mackay?), and claimed to have had no education but reading and writing and to have spent 9 months in a school in Yorkshire where the pupils were put to farm work. He had got into debt in London, gone to sea and ruptured his groin. In the first letter he said his father had discarded him, but by the second he had…
19.12.1801 meet, at Fenwick's, Kingden, &c, £75
The surname spelt Kingden is virtually nonexistent, so this was probably Kingdon, common in Devon particularly, or Kingdom, less common. The only other amounts of money noted in Godwin's diary around this time were 4.9.1801 £30 to Ht (=Holcroft) and 11.12.1801 £262 (which had Ht beneath it in very small letters). Thomas Holcroft's letters to Godwin show that Godwin and James Marshall were looking after his financial affairs in London while he was in Europe. In his letter from Paris dated 1.1.1802 (Bodleian Abinger c7 f80-1) he…
7.1.1798 Kingslake at Holcrofts
Kingslake is a rare name but may have been an alternative spelling of Kinglake, as both are found chiefly around Taunton, Somerset in this period. The Coles and the Braddocks who were also at Holcroft's that night had West Country connections. Robert Kinglake (DNB 1765-1842) according to Farington's diary p630 met Richard Duppa (DNB 1768-1831) by arrangement in Dresden and they travelled together perhaps to Vienna, Constantinople and Rome. If this was him he was probably newly returned from Europe and soon to set up practice as a doctor at Hot Wells,…
On 13.3.1794 Godwin dined at Wedgwood's where Kinsman was present. On 26.9.1798 he met miss Kinsman near Watford. In (Abinger c.17 f66-7) is a copy of Godwin's letter to her about that meeting. In reply he got a letter from her brother H Kingsman who said he knew Godwin (Abinger c.4 f47-8). In the 1796 list E Kingsman is towards the end of 1798, and D Kingsman near the start of 1799. On 8.5.1799 at Langley-berry he saw Mrs and Misses Kingman. Dorothea and Emily were the daughters of William Long Kingsman of Langleybury, Herts. Dorothea died in 1800 (her will Nat Arch PROB11/1348). Emily…
22.6.1810 Kingston &c call
Godwin rarely shortened a list of callers with a &c (I sometimes shorten Godwin's lists with &c). In this case he did the same the day before, and on this day he followed it with a colon and a further list of callers. All of which suggests a number of undesired callers, or ones whose names were not worth remembering?
2 Kingstons 24.2.1803
See Cooper, Elizabeth Priscilla. John Kingston MP (1735-1820) Oporto wine merchant, and director of Sierra Leone Company, lived at Oak Hill, Barnet, and at Stratford Place (History of Parliamnet: will Nat Arch PROB11/1639)

Andrew Kippis (DNB 1728-1795)
Godwin took tea at Kirkley's on 9.8.1799, followed by a call on Elkins. This was Sir Joshua Reynolds' servant Ralph Kirkley, one of whose daughters married at St Marylebone 22.12.1798 William Elkins, a bookseller who went bankrupt in 1800.
Kirkmans 5.4.1795 adv at Batty's / 21.8.1810 & 11.9.1810 call on Kirkman
Joseph Kirkman, Esq London subscribed to Robert Robinson's Ecclesiastical Researches 1792. See DNB for Jacob & Abraham Kirkman harpsichord makers who were both dead by 1795. Their successor Joseph K PCC 1830 and a relative Jacob K DNB composer (perhaps PCC 1812). There was also a Joseph K brewer of St Giles PCC 1804, a Rev Lemuel K, Islington PCC 1820 and a Patrick K gentleman Ealing PCC 1823
21.8.1810 Guildhall; Tabart, Kirkman &c / 11.9.1810 Baptist C H; Tabart, Kirkman &c
Kirkman only appeared in Godwin's diary at two of the sessions for Tabart's bankruptcy, but I couldn't find anyone of the name Kirkman in the book trades or legal profession.. Since Tabart had a long association with Soho it may have been the piano maker Joseph Kirkman (his will PCC 1830) of 19 Broad-st, Soho, son of Abraham Kirkman DNB 1737-1794 who may have been one of Tabart's creditors

10.12.1800
The GD website discusses the coding of LK in its editorial notes for the person record of Leonora Knapp, suggesting that apart from one entry on 29.5.1830, Leonora Knapp didn't appear in Godwin's diary after 1815, with which I agree. However there are many LK entries after 1815 coded to Leonora Knapp and they should all be transferred to Louisa Holcroft/ (Kenney) nee Mercier. In the period between Louisa Holcroft's marriage to Kenney in March 1812 and the end of 1815 Godwin gradually shifted his use of LK from Knapp to Kenney. Two of those entries I think GD website has…
