miss Coutts 16.5.1805 at Wake's

All three daughters of Thomas Coutts DNB 1735-1822 banker were married by 1800, I don't think he had any sisters. His brother James Hist of Parl 1733-1778 left one survivng daughter but I have discovered nothing more about her. PCC wills Patrick C 1808 (brother of Thomas DNB) Alexander Coutts merchant Princes St London 1804 / William C Harewood House, Yorks 1814 /  John C printer Cornhaill 1825 / Ann C spinster of Kensington 1855 mentioned uncle George C of Wellington Somerset (his will PCC 1852)

Coventry 25.1.1798 adv at theatre / 19.4.1816 Coventry at Boswell's (Edinburgh)

The first entry could be George William 6th Earl of Coventry 1722-1809. The second one maybe Robert Coventry teller of Bank Of Scotland died 1827, or his brother Andrew died 1838 whose children Rev George 1792.-1872 minister of St George's chapel York Place Edinburgh and Andrew advocate 1801-1877 are also possibles though the latter was probably too young

16.4.1798 call on Cowie

On GD website the above entry is not underlined as unidentified but there is no person record for Cowie. See letters Abinger c4 f18-19(8.5.1798), c4 f20-1(10.5.1798), c15 f20-1, c22 f86 (2.1.1798), c22 f96 (Wed - presumably 9.5.1798). Cowie appears to have been a business associate of Gilbert Imlay and also of R Sherman. Cowie and or Sherman must have been assignees of Moore & Co, carpet manufacturers, founded by Thomas Moore DNB 1700?-1788 and their attorneys must have been Rowland & William Maltby. Sherman referred to a letter from Mrs Godwin (Mary…

31.5.1808 call on Northcote; adv. E Cowper / 1.9.1817 again

Clearly a long term acquaintance of James Northcote DNB 1746-1831 artist. I considered a mistress of the bachelor Northcote but decided it was more probably Peter Leopold &c, the 5th Earl Cowper 1778-1837, (succeeded 1799) who perhaps enjoyed Northcote's famous conversation.

mrs Cox 11.7.1794 at Mrs Jennings with Hewardine / 13.12.1797 Coxes at Aldis's / 2.11.1799 call on Cox & Greenwood, with Fenwick / 23.8.1811 call on Cox & Co / 25.2.1819 call on Northcote adv mrs Kean, mrs Cox / 11.10.1825 call on Cox, Furnivals Inn / 12.10.1825 call on Cox / 12.4.1833 call on mrs Cox / 22.4.1833 again

Richard Cox (1718-1803) and Charles Greenwood (1748-1832) army agents later known as Cox & Co account for the 1799 and 1811 entries

Coxes at Aldis's might have been surgeons - William C surgeon will PCC 1835, Isaac (John) C surgeon will PCC 1836…
