Chambers 11.7.1797 at Joseph Johnson's

4.3.1806 Chamillys at Rowan's (with a party of 30 or more)

No clear identification. A seigneur de Chamilly was valet de chambre to Louis XVI of France and was guillotined in 1794, but his son lived to 1827 (Hoefer, Nouvelle Biographie). Holden's 1811 directory listed a John Chamilly, surgeon, Ireland.  Peter Francis Venault de Chamilly was a coal merchant of Somerset Street, Marylebone who owned a distillery at Paddington Green, and went bankrupt (Morn Post 25.3.1808, Morn Chron 13.6.1808).  Dorcas de Chamilly was buried at St Marylebone 4.8.1818 age 53. The name Venault de…

30.7.1810 write to Charnley / 4.1.1811 again / 11.1.1811 again / 15.7.1811 again

Probably Elizabeth Charnley bookseller of Newcastle upon Tyne from 1803 to 1814 widow of William Charnley (bbti)

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

12.4.1809 call on Chase / 13.4.1809 Chase calls / 19.8.1810 call, w. Jo(seph) G(odwin) on Chase

Possibly John Chase surgeon & apothecary 31 Duke-st, West Smithfield PODirectory 1810. Many Chases in London, chose this one because near to Godwin at Skinner-st

11.4.1809 call on Chater / 19.9.1809 again / 1.8.1810 Chater calls / 14.8.1810 again / 21.8.1810 call on Chater / 3.1.1811 again / 13.4.1811 again / 17.6.1811 again / 27.11.1811 write to Chater / 20.12.1816 call on Chater

Godwin Diary: Chatfield 8.6.1794 at Holcroft's

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.

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)

Cholmley 31.10.1800 at Northmore's (& Welby & Gordons)

See Thomas Northmore DNB 1766-1851. His first wife who died 1792 was the sister of William Earle Welby 1768-1852, their father William Earle Welby 1734-1815 was the son of William Welby and Catherine nee Cholmeley whose brother Montague was father of Montague Cholmeley 1772-1831 who became MP for Grantham 1820-6 following William Earle Welby senior 1802-6 and junior 1806-20 (History of Parliament Online)

8.7.1808 write to Cholmondeley

George James Cholmondeley 1749-1827 known as the Earl of Cholmondeley between 1770 and 1815 doesn't seem to have been of the Whig persuasion so not a natural choice for Godwin to write to. Thomas Cholmondeley 1767-1855, MP for Cheshire 1796-1812 wasn't a Whig either, though in 1810 he married the daughter of a Whig, William Watkins Wynn.

There were also the following who I daresay were all Tories too. Hugh Cholmondeley, Dean of Chester will PCC 1816. George James Cholmondeley of Marylebone will PCC 1830. Rev Charles Cooper Cholmondeley will PCC…
