La E Butler 15.8.1800 call on, Llangollen

Lady (Charlotte) Eleanor Butler DNB 1739-1829. Godwin's letter to James Marshall (Bodleian Abinger c6 f37v) explained that he had an introduction from Mrs Grattan to the 'ladies of Llangollen'

GODWIN DIARY: 8.11.1817 call on / 13.7.1821 call on

The GD website has coded these to be Longdill's partner, though the context is minimal this is probably correct, for his details see below

John Philpot Curran DNB 1750-1817 & James Boaden DNB 1762=1839, the only C and only B already named that day. Godwin had Curran to dinner, then went to the theatre with him, where they met Boaden and all three supped together. The other Cn & C entries above all surely referred to Curran but not coded to him in GD website

30.6.1810 H Boinville calls: C B dines

This C B has been coded on GD website to the Baxter family, implying presumably Christina Baxter who certainly came to London later with Godwin's daughter Mary, but no reason to think she was in London in 1810, her father had last seen Godwin in the summer of 1809. This was more likely to have been Cornelia Boinville age 15

22.7.1796 water party at B Gurney's, Wroxham

GD website has Wraxham but look closely at original. No Wraxham found in Norfolk but Wroxham is on the Norfolk Broads. Cabble, Blogg and Ansell were perhaps watermen.

Possibly, as Chandler was an artist, this was Augustus Wall Callcott DNB 1779-1844 (or less likely his older brother John Wall Calcott DNB 1766-1821 musician)
