Temple

Temple was a fairly frequent surname among Norfolk farmers. Of the later four entries in London, that of 1804 may have been the Norfolk connection Temples if they were visiting Joseph Godwin, the diary entry seems ambiguous as to where the "adv" was.

Templeton, John Henry

Templeton 29.5.1797 adv at Bail M(arshall)

John Henry Templeton 5th Baron Templeton married 7.10.1796 Mary daughter of John Montagu 5th Earl of Sandwich (see Sandwich). Godwin went with Basil Montagu, illegitimate son of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, to bail James Marshall. At present I don't know where or what Marshall's offence might have been, but it does look as if Basil Montagu asked his half brother, and his son-in-law, both peers of the realm, to come along, and that must have added considerable weight in Marshall's favour

Daniel Terry DNB 1789-1829 actor and playwright. The 1829 entry above is written very faintly and probably meant Terry dies but Godwin uncertain of date?


the 1796 list

The so-called "1796 list" is at the end of Vol VII of Godwin's diary on folios 45 to 48 after the diary entry for 24.9.1796 and is transcribed on the GD website after that day. There is an earlier version of it in Abinger c 31 f 90-92 readable online in the Western Manuscripts section of the Bodleian Library website / e-Resources / All Resources, which goes nearly to the end of 1794 and probably dates from soon after 1.11.1794 (when its last name, Wharton, appeared in the diary). The version in the diary is preceded by a sort of top twenty-five list of Godwin's acquaintances on f 45v…

Thiebault

Robinsons (Thiebault) 31.7.1804 / 24.10.1804 (contract, Thiebault)

Godwin first looked at Thiebault on 19.7.1804 and in the GD website this is coded to te 1490 unable to identify. It was clearly Dieudonne Thiebault's "Mes souvenirs de vingt ans sejour a Berlin, ou, Frederic le Grand" Paris 1804, 5 vols. It appears that on 31.7.1804 he discussed it with the Robinsons and he worked his way through the 5 volumes between 7.8.1804 and 26.12.1804, either reading it or perhaps translating it. The mention of a contract on 24.10.1804 didn't coincide with any meeting with any of the Robinsons…

Thompson, Thomas

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Thomas Thompson of Piccadilly member for Evesham proposed member 24.1.1794 by John Horne Tooke 2nded John Augustus Bonney

Thomas Thompson 1767-1818 (historyofparliamentonline 1790-1820). In the list of Crown witnesses for the treason trials 1794 his address was Shrub's Hill, nr Bagshot Berks. And see my Thomson/Thompson entry in Godwin Diary dataset


Thomson / Thompson

The listing below convinces me that it is pointless distinguishing between Thomson and Thompson (not a Tintin joke). Godwin may have sometimes used the two spellings to distinguish two people who appeared close to each other in the diary (e.g. possibly 18.9.1815), but he clearly also used both spellings randomly for the same person, see for example the Thomson/Thompson linked to Curran in 1817 or the two spellings of Marmaduke Thompson in 1804 and 1806. As I am working through the diary I naturally have less ideas about the later entries but they are set out below waiting for answers


Thornton, Robert John

HCR DIARY 11.5.1826 calls on Blake, Thornton

Presumably Robert John Thornton (DNB 1768-1837). Robinson had met William Blake (DNB 1757-1827) with John Linnell (DNB 1792-1882) at the Aders. Thornton was Linnell's doctor and had met Blake through Linnell in 1818, commissioning him to make woodcuts for his edition of Virgil. Thornton nearly dismissed Blake's work but was persuaded otherwise by dining at the Aders when Thomas Lawrence (DNB 1769-1830) and James Ward (DNB 1769-1859) both expressed admiration for Blake's work.

Thynne, Mrs

mrs Thynne 16.5.1805 at Wake's

Thynne was the surname of the Marquises of Bath, and Wake had previously lived in Bath, so Mrs Thynne may have been of that family. Dr Andrew Thynne of Berners St MD LRCP was a witness in the Duke of York's case in 1809, and he delivered the child of the wife of Robert Knight (qv) in 1813. He was buried 4.12.1813 at St Mary Lambeth of St Geo Southwark (which means he may have been in Kings Bench prison) but administration of his effects was granted under £800 on 24.6.1814, he died a widower. He had married Helen Long at St Pancras 18.7.1785 and an…
