Moor

major Moor 18.9.1805 at Joseph Johnson's

Edward Moor DNB 1771-1848 writer on Hinduism left India Feb 1805. Listed in Allibone as Major Edward Moor


Moore (Ireland)

Moore 9.7.1800 at Lady Moira's / 12.7.1800 at Curran's / 28.7.1800 Devil's Glen with Lady Mountcashell, Mrs Moore & 2 enfants; dine, with them at Dunran / 5.8.1800 Arthur Moore at Wallace's trial at Carlow / 11.10.1801 Helen & Jane M dine (in Oxford) / 19.11.1801 H & J Moore call / 21.11.1801 C Mountcashel, H, J & miss Wilmot call

The first 2 entries above are coded in the GD website to John Moore DNB 1729=1802 but there's no reason to think he was in Ireland in 1800. Leaving aside those who supported the union with Britain as unlikely to have been at Curran's (…


Moore, Basing-lane

21.7.1809 call on Moore, Basing Lane / 19.5.1810 Moore (W M) calls / 7.1.1811 call on Moore / 7.11.1811 call on Moore (not seen) / 8.11.1811 again / 9.11.1811 again / 10.11.1811 Moore calls / 18.11.1811 write to Moore / 25.12.1812 H Robinson calls (bond, R S) / 19.1.1813 H Robinson at tea (bond, W M) / 4.5.1814 write to Moore / 18.9.1815 call on Thompson W M

Moore, Charles

19.8.1795 C M adv at Inchbald's / 8.3.1796 C M adv at theatre / 7.8.1796 C M adv at Inchbald's / 23.2.1799 C Marsh, C M at Mackintosh's lecture / 2.3.1799 C M, C M at Mackintosh's Lecture

The C M entries up to 1799 may have been Charles Moore (d.1810 see Farington diary X 3646) son of Dr John Moore DNB 1729-1802. Charles Moore has a person record on the GD website, but these have not been coded to it. The two C Ms of 2.3.1799 may have been him and Charles Marsh who appeared as C Marsh in Mackintosh's first lecture. C M was later used for someone else, possibly Charlotte…


Moore, Graham

(faux?) G Moore 14.3.1798 in coach from Bath to London

A closer look at naval records at Kew might pinpoint whether Capt Graham Moore DNB 1764-1843 might have been going from Bath to London on that day. Certainly he had been present at the Fountain Inn Plymouth on 5.2.1798 for a meeting of navy captains, after capturing several enemy vessels already that year, this from the newspapers. Godwin had met him 15 times in the years 1794-7 and knew his father and brothers as well. So what made Godwin think his fellow passenger on a long coach journey might not be the…


Moore, H

21.10.1795 H Moore at John King's / 26.1.1800 Moore at John King's / 8.6.1800 again

The second and third entries above are coded on GD website to Dr John Moore but were perhaps more likely the same as the H Moore of 1795


Moore, James

Ja & Chas 22.2.1796 at Dr Moore's.

James & Charles sons of Dr Moore. They quite often appeared together, this one has been missed in GD website


Moore, John

6.3.1796 meet Mre. (not coded to his person record in GD website). In Godwin's 1796 list for 1788 and in 1794 version but 1796 list entry not coded to his person record in GD website

Probably Dr John Moore. Godwin seems consistent in using Moore or dr Moore for the father and using initials for his sons and for the two unrelated Moores (M & H) he saw in the 1790s

Moore, John

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: John Moore of 7, Holborn Court, Grays Inn proposed member 15.6.1792 by Benjamin Cooper 2nded Williams (John or George?)

On 23.11.1792 John Moore proposed John Williamson of Field Court Grays Inn as SCI member. Morning Post 16.10.1794 treason trial list of witnesses John Moore of Grays Inn attorney at law. But no John Moore attorney in Law Lists at that address, however there were several attornies named John Moore in Law Lists, where they can be roughly distinguished by the letters denoting which courts they served. Some of the five below may…


Moore, Major

3.2.1807 dine at Johnson's w. maj. Moore /26.5.1807 again / 2.12.1807 call on Johnson adv. maj. Moore / 12.8.1808 dine at Johnson's adv. maj. Moore / 27.10.1809 dine at Johnson;s w. Major Moore /13.4.1810 dine at St Pauls w. maj. Moore

Fuseli and Bonnycastle were present at each of the dinners above but that is not surprising as they were regulars at Johnson's. One of the mathematical assistants to Bonnycastle at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich was John Moore esq but no sign he ever had a rank in the army. James Moore (DNB 1762-1860) was a friend of Fuseli's and Godwin's and…


Moore, Mrs

mrs Moore 24.5.1795 calls / 4.1.1808 call on

If this was the wife of Dr John Moore then it was Jean, nee Simson, married 17.6.1754, died 1820. Possibly also the wife or mother of Matthew Moore who was visiting Godwin around 1795, if he was the M Moore of the diary


Moore, Thomas

2.5.1816 call on Moore (not seen)

This should be added on GD website to the person record for Thomas Moore DNB 1779-1852 poet. He was then living at Mayfield Cottage, Ashbourne and Godwin on his return journey from Edinburgh via Manchester went to Ashbourne presumably mainly to see Moore
