5.7.1794 B Sewel / 13.7.1796 dine at Sewel.

Bartholomew Sewell was baptised 5.7.1759 son of Robert & Sarah (nee Harmer), apprenticed in 1777 to Simon Wilkin grocer of Norwich, married 27.11.1781, at St George Colegate Norwich, Anna Lincoln, was a grocer, brandy merchant and hop merchant of Coslany Street Norwich in 1784, and subscribed to William Gordon's America in 1788. Star 4.4.1795 witness (see Firth 28.6.1794). He may be the Bartholomew Sewell who was buried at Walworth, Surrey 26.11.1813.

The "dine at Sewel" 13.7.1796 may refer to Samuel Sewell farmer of…

This entry has been mistranscribed on GD website as Shakerhaft . For possibles see work notes below

29.2.1796 call on Nothcote, talk of Shakspear & Burke

Obviously William Shakespeare the playwright but GD website still has it underlined as an unidentified person

sharer 11.3.1800 adv at theatre / 6.5.1800 again / 2.2.1801 Renter adv at theatre

Possibly these entries referred to the arrangements Godwin had with the Drury Lane theatre for free tickets, all three entries above were at that theatre, but the Renter entry with a capital R may have referred to a surname, though it was a rare one.

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Richard Sharp of 6 Fish St Hill proposed member 13.9.1782 by Joseph Brown 2nded Edward Hall

GODWIN DIARY: In Godwin's 1796 list for 1790 as Sharpe followed by Gram crossed out and Rd inserted above before Sharpe, and in 1794 version as Sharpe, hatter. Richard Sharp has a person record in GD website but the 1796 entry is not coded to it. The Gram looks like Godwin confused him while making the list (see Sharpe, Granville)

20.11.1809 call on Sharpe

In a string of calls on mostly booksellers going west from St Pauls to Piccadilly, this was very likely John Sharpe bookseller & publisher at 186 Piccadilly (bbti, Holdens directory 1811 Sharpe & Hailes). Coded on GD website to a generic Sharpe person record

22.11.1794 (alongside week ending) Sharpe Gram at Tooke's trial.

Surely Granville Sharp DNB 1735-1813. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1790 he put Rd Sharpe, then Gram (crossed out). There are two Sharpe entries in 1790, one on 15.3.1790 at Brand Hollis' and one on 4.11.1790 at the Revolution Society, where Sharpe was one of the supporters of Horne Tooke's motion against the nobility, along with Cooper and Favell. One of them must have been Richard Sharp as the 1796 list made clear, and probably both were.

 

2.11.1795 at Richard Johnson's

Perhaps accompanying a daughter of the recently deceased James Boswell, Betsy aged 15 or more likely Euphemia aged 21. Not found the name in the indexes to Boswell's Journal

HCR diary 18.2.1823 "at Flaxman's - no one there but the Aders and some of the Denmans and Miss Sharp and it was rather a dull evening"

Sharpless 23.8.1801 calls / 10.11.1801 Sharples calls / 16.11.1801 Sharples calls (sit)

James Sharples DNB 1751/2-1811 portrait painter (identified by the "sit"). The spelling Sharpless was used for his vote as portrait painter of Gerrard St Soho for Hood & Wray in 1764, and the two spellings were quite often given as alternatives for one person, surprisingly perhaps as we would now pronounce them each quite differently
