Tassaert

call on Tassaert 2.7.1802 with Philips. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 as Tassaret.

Philippe Joseph Tassart 1732-1803 history painter and president of Society of Artists. See Farington's diary (e.g. vol III p795), for his reputation as an art expert which may relate to the purpose of Godwin & Phillips' call (see Miller). On GD website he has a person record and his 1796 list entry is coded to it but not the 1802 entry although the editorial notes refer to it


Tate

5.4.1810 call on Tate / 12.4.1810 C(harles) C(lairmont) on Tate / 20.5.1811 call, w. C(harles), on Tate &c / 1.6.1811 call on Tate (not seen), w.

Clearly some relationship to Charles Clairmont, maybe a trial apprenticeship or some tutoring?

                    15.8.1824 in Norwich "I had been invited to dine with Ad: Taylor but thought it prudent not to go and I therefore accepted an invitation to dine with Will: Taylor - a very amusing afternoon - a younger brother of Austin's tribe, one Smith and another young man there - The conversation on T's part however was even to me highly exceptionable - I mean before young men -…


Taylor (Stowmarket)

Taylor's 10.9.1805 Finborgh (near Stowmarket)

Mr Taylor of Ringshall nr Stowmarket d1815 age 78, Thomas Taylor buried Stowupland 30.9.1815 age 77. Pleasance wife of Mr W Mumford of Hintlesham Priory died 12.11.1831 age 28, only dau of Mr E Taylor of Ringshall. Finborough is 2 miles west of Stowmarket, Stowupland 1 mile east of it and Ringshall 3 miles south of it, Hintlesham Priory a few miles south of Ringshall. See my entry for Mumford, Mrs. On GD website this entry is coded to John Taylor DNB 1750-1826 which is probably wrong

 

 


Taylor, Charles

call on Cha. Taylor 12.7.1804

Perhaps Charles Taylor DNB 1756-1823. According to the DNB he was a deeply conservative man but in 1801 the London Library was moved to his premises at 108 Hatton Garden where it remained for several years, which may have been relevant to the purpose of Godwin's call


Taylor, Francis

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Francis Taylor of Hull proposed member 15.11.1782 by Jeremiah Batley 2nded John Jebb. Provided constituency info re: Hull, Beverley & haydon, offered to cover Scarborough & Malton as well

Francis Taylor = Bridlington 27.12.1791 Mary Marshall botp by lic wits Eliza Marshall, John Walmsly. Marriage register didn't state if bach or wid but licence said age 21 and upwards, I found no other record of his age. He was perhaps the son of Francis Taylor of Bridlington who married Ann Dalton there 30.4.1760. There was a marriage at Airmyn not…


Taylor, John

call on R Taylor; adv pere 21.5.1803 / 11.5.1804 call on R Taylor adv mere & soeur / 2.8.1805 call on R Taylor; adv Arthur / 16.7.1806 call on R Taylor adv pere mere & A / 19.8.1807 call on R Taylor (adv frere aine) / 8.3.1809 call on R Taylor; adv. Edwd / 16.6.1817 call on R Taylor adv pere

In the 1807 entry above GD website has mistranscribed frere as pere, the two are not that different in Godwin's handwriting. So that entry must have been John Taylor DNB 1779-1863, Richard Taylor's only older brother. The entries in 1803 and 1817 have not been coded, as other similar…


Taylor, John

see Poland Street 1 to 9 & 49 to 62 in London Addresses dataset

John Taylor 1780 leaseholder of 1 to 5 Poland St (the leaseholder by 1789 was Alexander Scott (QV*)). Also a John Taylor leaseholder of 23 Poland St. A very common name but I wondered if this may have been the oculist  John Taylor DNB 1724-1787.


Taylor, Lancastrian

28.11.1794 Taylor Lanc at Gerald's / Taylor 29.11.1794 at Crompton's / 14.12.1796 Taylor Lancastrian at House of Commons

Taylor, Northn

25.5.1798 Taylor Northn calls / 2.6.1798 Taylor Northn calls, talk of self and atheism

George Taylor (1772-1851) father of Henry Taylor (DNB 1800-1886). See Una Taylor, Guests and Memories (1924) p 21 on and the Autobiography of Henry Taylor, The anecdote in Una Taylor's book of Horne Tooke kissing Godwin's hand at Mrs Opie's while George Taylor was present was probably a conflation of stories. Taylor was only in London for a couple of weeks and he apparently met Holcroft and the newly married Mrs Opie. Tooke and Mrs Opie never appeared together in Godwin's diary (except in the…


Taylor, Philip

8.7.1796 call on J Taylor, adv Philip, Morris & mrs W Barnard / 21.7.1796 dine at J Taylor's, with Philip, Samuel, Thomas & T Barnard

Although Philip Taylor DNB 1786-1870 civil engineer was ten years old, these names don't fit his brothers John, Richard, Edward and Arthur, but they do fit the brothers of John Taylor DNB 1750-1826, Philip b1747, Meadows b1755, Samuel b1757 and Thomas b1758, particularly if Meadows by nickname or Godwin's mistake was noted as Morris.

Meadows Taylor married Elizabeth Dyson at Ganton Suffolk in 1793, their son Meadows baptised at Palgrave…


Taylor, Sarah

14.1.1807 Sa T sleeps

Should be added on GD website to the person record of Sarah Austin (nee Taylor) (DNB 1793-1867). The entry on the same day of Sarah Taylor dines has been coded to her person record so this is not problematic


Taylor, William

26.1.1794 'Opera Taylor' at Perry's. William Taylor c1753-1825 (Highfill, Burnim & Langhans) was the proprietor of the opera house King's Theatre. See R B O'Reilly An Authentic Narrative...(1791); Price Milhous & Hume, Italian opera ...vol 1(1995); DNB John Gallini 1728-1805



 


Taylor, William

see Autobiography of Francis Place ed. Mary Thale page 54. Where Place learnt to use a saw

William Taylor carpenter of Arundel Street voted 1780, 1784, 1788 and 1790. In the ratebooks in Arundel Street next to the Kings Arms from 1778 to 1795, and was therefore Simon Place's next door neighbour in the mid 1780s. St James' Chronicle 28.6.1781 the house of  Mr Taylor carpenter in Arundel Street fell down. "happily no Lives were lost, as the Inhabitants had just Time to leave it before it fell; but the greatest Part of the Furniture was broke to Pieces". William Taylor age 55…


Teague

call on Teague 28.2.1805

This was probably John Teague who succeeded his father John as keeper of Poultry St compter 27.4.1803 and was transferred to the Giltspur St compter (Morning Chronicle 22.9.1804) where he died 17.7.1841 his will PCC 1841. On 23.1.1805 Godwin had visited his former tenant Edward Ball (see Ball) at the Giltspur St compter and was perhaps having twinges of conscience for evicting him, anyway Teague wasn't in and never appeared in the diary again


Tebbut

call on Tebbut 13.4.1804
