4.7.1795 meet Williams (after dinner at Morley's) & 6.7.1795 Williams's at Greatheed's
This person is identified in GD website but these dates probably belong to him, while 1.11.1794 is unlikely to and 5.6.1797 only mentions his village Welsburn, that Godwin & Montagu drove through early in the morning, without his name. Though Godwin probably didn't see him on this visit, he appeared in Rev John Morley's diary on 1.5.1797, 8.6.1797, 10.6.1797 and 24.7.1797, and a miss Willams was keeping a school in Stratford where Morley's daughter Mary and a miss Harding were…

Possibly Martha Roper Williams daughter of Robert Williams ("formerly of Charleston South Carolina Counsellor at Law now of London" will PCC 1808). She exhibited at Royal Academy 1793 and lived at 30 Lambs Conduit St, so near to Foulkes'. She married at St Andrew Holborn 16.12.1803 Richard Wrangham merchant (will PCC 1832). Unlikely to be Helen Maria Williams who was probably in France.

This may have referred to Willis's coffee house, or to Charles Willis (qv) who first appeared in the diary on 16.7.1797, or to Willis Webb (qv), as Godwin had met a Webb earlier the same day (it seems unlikely Godwin would use his first name although he may have referred to him as Willis on 25.6.1788 when Webb was his pupil - or that may have been someone of the surname Willis)

30.4.1806 call on Willoughby (Nic)
Shropshire Archives 3614/8/38 letters of administration of Mary late wife of Nicholas Willoughby of Queens Row, Pimlico 13.8.1825. But it would be unusual for Godwin to have used brackets after the surname for the first name, it more often referred to something the person was known for, like an address or an author's work - perhaps in this case being short for Nicholson, Godwin's friend who was at that time in and out of debtors' prisons

Wills proctor was probably John Wills of Bell Yard, or Robert Willis of 2 Bennet's Hill, both proctors of Doctors Commons in 1800 Law list. Some or all of the other Wills entries may well have been Alexander Wills dancing master, an enthusiastic supporter of radical causes.
