Charpentier calls 4.7.1802

I suspect this call may have had some connection with Godwin & Richard Phillips' calls of two days before (see Miller). Benjamin Charpentier was a gilder of Titchfield St who took an apprentice in 1795 and advertised in the Morning Chronicle 19.8.1807 for some paintings by Russell lost in transit. There was also a William Charpentier jeweller of Soho in 1796 who died about 1800. PCC wills Gideon Ernest Charpentier of St Pancras 1797, Ann Charpentier of St James Piccadilly 1805

Chawners 13.11.1794 at Foulkes'. The will of Ann Chawner of Kentish Town PCC 1810 dated 3.3.1809 mentioned Mrs Foulkes, and Philippa Foulkes (John Foulkes' wife) witnessed it. She also mentioned her sister Dorothy and niece Hester both of Hart Street, Bloomsbury. In Boyle's Court Guide 1792 Mrs Chawner was at 10, Hart Street, Bloomsbury, four doors from Foulkes.

 

Cheap 28.1.1798 at(Horne) Tooke's

31.3.1789 Chelsum at T Hollis' and 2.2.1790 there.

Rev James Chelsum DNB 1738-1801 though very much a Church of England man, was a member in 1788 for the Society for Abolition of the Slave Trade so would have had something in common with Hollis. The name Chelsum is very rare which adds to positive identification

 

9.3.1810 dine at St Paul's, w. Chenevix, &c / 26.2.1831 Chenevix calls

The 1810 entry seems likely to have been Richard Chenevix DNB 1774-1830 chemist who according to the DNB visited London in 1810.  The 1831 entry cannot have been him as he died in 1830 but was possibly one of his illegitimate sons George and Charles Smith who changed their surname to Chenevix after their father's death

Chennels 5.12.1794 at Foulkes' / 2.1.1795 at Dyer's.

Lydia Frances Chennels, schoolmistress of 73 Hatton Street (Sun Fire 1794) because Miss Chennill of Hatton St and George Dyer subscribed to the poems of Sarah Spence, and Mrs Spence was also present at Dyer's on 2.1.1795, along with the poet Edward Williams. Lydia was baptised 3.3.1771 dau. of Thomas & Ann Chennels at Edlesborough, Bucks and married Richard Sharp (not 'Conversation' Sharp) on 6.8.1796 at St Leonards Shoreditch. Children bapt St Andrew Holborn, Charles Chennels S 1798, Harriet Lydia S 1799, Henry Richard S 1800…

18.9.1810 call on Cherry / 26.12.1812 again / 8.1.1814 again

Perhaps the Rev.Thomas Cherry head master of Merchant Taylors School 6 Suffolk-lane Upper Thames-st, and vicar of Loose, Kent. Godwin may have been supplying him with educational books, or trying to.

Thale, Selections 13.1.1795 Cherton 38 Bethnal Green Road, signatures & subscriptions. No other trace of this person found

1.7.1809 Chervet calls

Claudius Chervet and James Fletcher merchants of Walbrook bankrupt 1806 (Nat Arch B3/846); Fletcher fled to Lisbon (Nat Arch HO42/81/133), Chervet gained his certificate early in 1807. Chervet v. Mercier Chancery bill 1810 (Nat Arch C13/515/15). Claudius Chervet & Charles Mercier printers Bartholomew-close bankrupt 1811. Claudius Chervet married Catherine Jones at Shoreditch in 1789 and their son Claudius was born 1790 but he was probably too young to have been Mercier's partner.In 1818 Chervet lived at Hunter-st, Brunswick-sq (Old Bailey Chervat)
