15.4.1796 sir Jno Turner at Montagu's / In Godwin's 1796 list for 1796 crossed out / 23.9.1809 write to JC Turner

Checked all knights and baronets only one possible. Sir John Crickloe (or Chrichloe) Turner admitted Lincolns Inn 1776 youngest son of Rev James T deceased of Huntingdon, married 2.1.1779 at All Saints Newcastle-upon-Tyne Ann Cramlington / sheriff of Hunts 1785, knoghted 1786 of Upper Stukeley / died 14.10.1813 Stoke Poges, Bucks age 68. Huntingdon connection fits Basil Montagu. He may have been the J.C.Turner Godwin wrote to in 1809

12.5.1809 dine at Johnson's, w. Dr Turton / 14.12.1809 call on Theobald, Wordsworth & Turton, w. L(ouisa) H(olcrof)t & M(ary) J(ane)

The Turton at Johnson's was wrongly transcribed as Tuston on GD website. It was very likely William Turton DNB 1762-1835 conchologist. In 1805 Joseph Johnson published an edition of Oliver Goldsmith's History of the Earth and Animated Nature indexed by Dr Turton, and in 1807 Lackington published Dr Turton's translation of Linnaeus. In 1806 Dr Turton offered a gold and a silver medal for the best poetical effusions on Lord Nelson. Turton was…

All the above missed in GD website. Also Tuthill46 in Godwin's 1796 list transcription at end of 1795 but not there in original

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1794 F Twiss (crossed out), transcribed in GD website as T Twiss and not coded to his person record. See Twiss, Richard for why most of the entries coded to Francis in GD website in fact belong to his brother Richard.

see Villeneuve. Robert Tyler of St James Piccy jeweller = 26.6.1771 St Marylebone Mary Ann Villeneuve sp otp by lic wit Geo Villeneuve. Since Mrs Tyler called on Godwin out of the blue three weeks after Godwin met Villeneuves at James Perry's the above marriage may be relevant

A tenuous connection in that a Gore was present as well as Tyson on 19.1.1800. Richard Tyson will PCC 1821 (exec Sir John Keane baronet of Royal Cres Bath) had been master of ceremonies at Tunbridge Wells, then at the Lower Rooms Bath till James King took over, then at the New Rooms Bath from 1785 in place of  Dawson.

Upshaw calls 14.8.1803

Only appeared once in Godwin's diary and didn't get to see Godwin then. Morning Post 14.8.1803 Cork and Upshaw, Americans prosecuted for a challenge to a duel to Mr Askew (the son of Sir Edward Askew) after he nudged Upshaw off a crowded bench in the lecture room of St Thomas' Hospital. Website upshawfamilyjournal.com is a good source for Upshaws in Virginia and nearby states. This looks likely to have been Dr William Upshaw born 1782 of Richmond Virginia who became surgeon to 5th Regiment of Infantry and was involved in duels in 1805 and 1810 and died 31.8.…

Varland 10.2.1795 at King's.

Varland was a character in Cumberland's play The West Indian. Since the actor John Quick was famous for this role and appeared again at King's on 31.3.1795, Wolcot being present both times, it is possible that Varland referred to him. The name was very rare in England though slightly commoner in France, Norway &c

Samuel & Mary Varland dau Elizabeth = James Harper before 1804
