Martin of Galway 13.1.1802 at Wycombe's with Curran. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 / 10.7.1810 Martin calls

Pretty clearly Richard Martin Hist of Parl 1754-1834, though no reason to think he was the caller of 1810 (see also Martin). On my way to identifying him I came across Nicholas Martin of Ross, Galway died 1811 (Burke's Irish Families) who may have been the Nicholas Martin Esq who stood in the pillory opposite the Royal Exchange Dublin, pursuant to his sentence (Morning Post 20.10.1803) which must have been in connection with the 1803 rebellion, but I could reach no Dublin…

hello, I am Edward Pope, an independent historian, see my website edpopehistory.co.uk

I refer to your article "Mark and Eleanor Martin, the Blakes' French Fellow Inhabitants at 17 South Molton Street, 1805-1821" which I read online at Blake, An Illustrated Quarterly, volume 43 issue 3, page 84

When you wrote this you had presumably not seen the will proved Canterbury 31.8.1831 of Marc Joseph Martin of No 17 South Molton Street, which makes it clear that the Mark…

He had married Catherine, sister of Charles Marsh at Norwich in 1784. Note that Marsh called on Godwin…

mrs Martyr 9.12.1801 see Kelly

16.7.1796 event tag: the comment in the GD website suggests that this "Mary chez elle" clearly referred to Mary Wollstonecraft, who was a hundred miles away. Possibly Godwin put an entry for 1797 in the wrong year when writing up his diary, but since he never called Mary Wollstonecraft "Mary" anywhere else in the diary, nor did his letters address her as Mary, it seems quite possible that this referred to another Mary. Godwin had supped that night at W. Tooke Harwood's not far from his mother's house at Dalling, possibly at Melton Constable where at one point Harwood lived with his friends…
