14.5.1795 dine at Hollis's (DL). not sure what the DL stands for (Drury Lane?) John Hollis' town address from Boyle's 1796 onwards was 70 Gt Queen St, Lincolns Inn Fields

17.5.1801 Jno Hollis calls. Uncoded in GD website

20.6.1793 call on BH, not in town, should surely be coded to Brand Hollis as should 22.4.1795 message BH

Thomas Brand Hollis of Craven St, Strand original member of Society for Constitutional Information 1780 elected president 8.12.1780, frequently took the chair at meetings

Joseph George Holman DNB 1764-1817 married Jane Hamilton in 1798, she died 11.6.1810. According to Highfill, Burnim & Langhans they were separated by 1803. She was likely the mrs Holman at Reynolds' shortly before her death. The Holman at Uwins's in 1834 could have been James Holman DNB 1786-1857 traveller, but I haven't confirmed this

17.3.1810 call on Reynolds; adv. mrs Holman

At a call on the playwright Frederick Reynolds this was quite likely Jane the wife of Joseph George Holman DNB 1764-1817. If so she was dead three months later at age 41

The Holmes in Ireland in 1800 whom Godwin included in his 1796 list was probably Robert Holmes DNB 1765-1859. Less likely would have been Peter Holmes Esq of Merrion St Dublin (Hist Irish Parl 1731-1802) pro-Union MP though subscr to D R O'Conor 1798 pro-…

mrs Holt 5.12.1794 at Foulkes'.

John Thelwall's older sister Elizabeth who married John Holt Esq of the Inner Temple, whose will PCC 1799 didn't mention her. Her visit to Foulkes, Thelwall's attorney, as her brother's trial begins is unsurprising
