One of seven women in the printed 1788 list of signatories whose names didn't appear beside that of a husband, and the only one to have been baptised without any apparent family connection to other Church members.

Likely to have been William Edwards bookseller of Oswestry from 1792 to 1812 (bbti). But Edwards was a common name in Oswestry, including the vicar Rev Turner Edwards, a goldsmith, a mercer and three innkeepers in Holdens directory 1811.

22.5.1807 call on Edwards, engr

Most likely engr was short for engraver (though engineer is possible). The only Edwards engraver I could find active in 1807 was William Camden Edwards (DNB 1777-1855) but he was apparently living in Bungay, Suffolk in 1807 and for most of his life. There was a Humphrey Edwards engineer at 3 Mill-st, Lambeth-walk in 1815 P.O. directory. Richard Edwards printer was at Red Lion-ct, Fleet-st from 1804 and later moved to 6 Crane-ct, Fleet-st till his death in 1829. But probably none of these

Hollis Edwards (will PCC 1807) was the nephew of Timothy Hollis who had just died leaving a legacy to James Barry, and was executor and one of the main beneficiaries of his will. Godwin was probably calling on Barry's behalf, or perhaps curious to see if there was anything for him as well. Edwards' will PCC 1807 left all to Dr Abraham Wilkinson of Enfield. It is possible but doesn't seem likely that he was one or some of the later Edwards's in Godwin's diary between…

Supposed by Ben Ross Schneider, "Wordsworth's Cambridge Education", and Kenneth Johnston "The Hidden Wordsworth" to be Thomas Edwards DNB 1759-1842, son of Rev Thomas Edwards PCC 1785, which is likely; but various writers have confused him with Rev John Edwards of Birmingham and stated that he helped Coleridge with the Watchman in 1796; and the DNB, following Alum Cantab, confuses him with another Thomas Edwards (Alum Ox) who was vicar of Aldford Cheshire for many years and died 1842. He was curate of Swavesey, Cambs and The Bury & Norwich Post of 5.4.1820…

Breakfast at Edwards's 14.8.1800 / 19.8.1800 call on mrs Edwards (in London)

In his letter to James Marshall (Bodleian Abinger c6 f37r) Godwin says he breakfasted "by the most purely accidental recommendation, at the house of a most stupid dog, at Mr Edwards, a brewer, whose town house is in Portman Square, and who has built himself a mansion in the Vale of Llanrwst". The only reference I found to Edwards in Portman Square was the will PCC 1794 of John Edwards, servant of Samuel Whitbread, Portman Square, whose family connections, judging from the will, were in South Wales. Holdens…

(Thale) David Edwin gave evidence to LCS 4.9.1794 for spy Grove (who was wrongly acquitted by LCS of being a spy), Edwin said he had breakfasted with Grove on 18.8.1794. No other evidence to suggest he supported or was a member of LCS.
