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
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

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.

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…

A rare enough name to make it quite probable this was Samuel Tisley, master of the St Sepulchre's workhouse, Smithfield, near to Godwin at Skinner-st. He announced in the Morning Advertiser of 14.4.1806 that his wife Ann had left him and he would not be liable for her debts. He had married Ann Walker at Shoreditch in 1799, both signing with a mark; they had had a few children and lost some, and Tisley had been master of Hammersmith workhouse in the early 1800s. He married again in 1828 to Emma Sophia Mitchell who was 20 to his 53. They also…
