George Taylor (1772-1851) father of Henry Taylor (DNB 1800-1886). See Una Taylor, Guests and Memories (1924) p 21 on and the Autobiography of Henry Taylor, The anecdote in Una Taylor's book of Horne Tooke kissing Godwin's hand at Mrs Opie's while George Taylor was present was probably a conflation of stories. Taylor was only in London for a couple of weeks and he apparently met Holcroft and the newly married Mrs Opie. Tooke and Mrs Opie never appeared together in Godwin's diary (except in the…
8.7.1796 call on J Taylor, adv Philip, Morris & mrs W Barnard / 21.7.1796 dine at J Taylor's, with Philip, Samuel, Thomas & T Barnard
Although Philip Taylor DNB 1786-1870 civil engineer was ten years old, these names don't fit his brothers John, Richard, Edward and Arthur, but they do fit the brothers of John Taylor DNB 1750-1826, Philip b1747, Meadows b1755, Samuel b1757 and Thomas b1758, particularly if Meadows by nickname or Godwin's mistake was noted as Morris.
Meadows Taylor married Elizabeth Dyson at Ganton Suffolk in 1793, their son Meadows baptised at Palgrave…

Should be added on GD website to the person record of Sarah Austin (nee Taylor) (DNB 1793-1867). The entry on the same day of Sarah Taylor dines has been coded to her person record so this is not problematic

"happily no Lives were lost, as the Inhabitants had just Time to leave it before it fell; but the greatest Part of the Furniture was broke to Pieces". William Taylor age 55 buried St…
call on Teague 28.2.1805
This was probably John Teague who succeeded his father John as keeper of Poultry St compter 27.4.1803 and was transferred to the Giltspur St compter (Morning Chronicle 22.9.1804) where he died 17.7.1841 his will PCC 1841. On 23.1.1805 Godwin had visited his former tenant Edward Ball (see Ball) at the Giltspur St compter and was perhaps having twinges of conscience for evicting him, anyway Teague wasn't in and never appeared in the diary again

Temple was a fairly frequent surname among Norfolk farmers. Of the later four entries in London, that of 1804 may have been the Norfolk connection Temples if they were visiting Joseph Godwin, the diary entry seems ambiguous as to where the "adv" was.

Templeton 29.5.1797 adv at Bail M(arshall)
John Henry Templeton 5th Baron Templeton married 7.10.1796 Mary daughter of John Montagu 5th Earl of Sandwich (see Sandwich). Godwin went with Basil Montagu, illegitimate son of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, to bail James Marshall. At present I don't know where or what Marshall's offence might have been, but it does look as if Basil Montagu asked his half brother, and his son-in-law, both peers of the realm, to come along, and that must have added considerable weight in Marshall's favour
Letter from Emma Pauncefote to Crabb Robinson dtaed 7.8.1842 but probably error for 7.9.1842 "I had no sooner despatched my letter to you yesterday than I received one from my friend in Wales (Mrs Tennant) in answer to my application to her on my sisters account the following is an extract of her letter on that subject 'Your sister my dearest friend, appears indeed to be in a most unfortunate situation, I quite agree with yours and her friend, that an Annuity would be the wisest mode of assisting her.

Daniel Terry DNB 1789-1829 actor and playwright. The 1829 entry above is written very faintly and probably meant Terry dies but Godwin uncertain of date?
The so-called "1796 list" is at the end of Vol VII of Godwin's diary on folios 45 to 48 after the diary entry for 24.9.1796 and is transcribed on the GD website after that day. There is an earlier version of it in Abinger c 31 f 90-92 readable online in the Western Manuscripts section of the Bodleian Library website / e-Resources / All Resources, which goes nearly to the end of 1794 and probably dates from soon after 1.11.1794 (when its last name, Wharton, appeared in the diary). The version in the diary is preceded by a sort of top twenty-five list of Godwin's acquaintances on f 45v…
