Cole, William

Cole 22.9.1793

William Cole married Sophia Holcroft in 1794. Of the dates coded to him in the diary, 30.1.1796 and 14.2.1796 should be removed as Mrs Cole only; 10.10.1801 "Coles sups" is ambiguous and 15.3.1830 Coles (at Kenney's) may refer to him if he was by then divorced and with a new wife or some of his children; or he may have died by then.

Possibly George Colman the younger DNB 1762-1836. A full text search of the DNB for Coleman shows a number of instances of George Colman's name (senior or junior) being spelt Coleman. The "incog" may be connected with Holcroft's belief that his name and Godwin's were bad publicity for plays they had written. George…

Collins

mrs Collins 13.6.1801 at Carlisle's / 20.1.1806 miss Collins at Rowan's

I have left aside for now the forty or so Collins entries between 1817 and 1827, all but the first one were miss Collins or E Collins (who were probably one person). The miss Collins at Rowan's above could have been the same person but there was a gap of eleven years. Meanwhile I have no idea yet who either of the two above were either
