Fromont, Maria

M Fromont at theatre 15.5.1797 (& Dibbin).

Charlotte Maria Fromont was Henry Dibbin's stepsister baptised at Thatcham on 4.10.1778. She appears in Godwin's diary on 15.5.1797 at the theatre with Dibbin (though this could possibly be his mother) and supped at Godwin's with Dibbin on 10.11.1798. She took her father's side in the Chancery dispute (see Dibbin, Henry) and never married, dying on 20.9.1866 (Nat Probate Calendar). In 1861 she was living at Thatcham Farm, described as a farmer of 300 acres employing 10 men and 6 boys. Her companion and housekeeper was another spinster…


Frost

Frost at 16 Pepper St, Lomans Pond, Southwark was an address for LCS signatures 12.11.1795, and the president of Div 15 of the LCS on 18.9.1797 was called Frost (see Thale). Nearest but unlikely identification I found was John Frost pawnbroker of Tooley Street Southwark will proved PCC 21.1.1799. Though both in St Saviour's parish, Tooley Street and Lomans Pond were not particularly close.

Fry

see Crutchley & Fry


Fry, Mrs

HCR diary 17.5.1841 "Ellen seems to be recovering herself - she is under the protection of Mrs Fry!"

This was very likely Elizabeth Fry (DNB 1780-1845). Mrs Aders' daughter Ellen Ley (1804-1867) had previously been arrested for theft (see HCR diary 7.1.1840)


Fullarton, William

GODWIN DIARY: Fullaston 8.5.1788

At Gibbon's birthday party (where Godwin probably wasn't), this was perhaps William Fullarton (DNB 1754-1808) then MP for Haddington. The writing suggests an 'r' though the ink is hardly visible. (The s has now been corrected to an r on GD website)

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Col Fullarton of St James St proposed 24.6.1791 by Count Zenobio 2nded John Frost

See DNB article William Fullarton 1754-1808

Furner

6.2.1807 Furner sups

Only mention in Godwin's diary. Could have come in the company of any of the other guests, Hazlitt, Dawe, the Flathers or Godwin's nephew William Godwin. An uncommon name except in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. Some London examples in work notes below


Fuseli, Henry

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1796 but not coded to his person record in GD website


Fuseli, Henry

HCR diary 13.1.1819 Mrs Opie / Fuseli / Sidney Smith / Samuel Rogers (I just made that note with no more context)

                      4.4.1823 after seeing Aders' pictures, Sir George Beaumont "proposed bringing Fuseli"

George Beaumont (DNB 1753-1827) and Henry Fuseli (DNB 1741-1825). I've no idea whether Fuseli did visit Aders' collection

Fyfield, Best & Williams

4.1.1807 dine at King's w. Sturts Danvers Best Plowden & Williams adv. May & Fyfield / 10.1.1807 dine at King's w. Wolcot Sturts Danvers Best & Williams / 18.1.1807 dine at King's w Sturts Danvers Wolcot Williams & Fyfield / 6.7.1827 Best at Uwins'

I've put these three together because Fyfield and Best only appear at these three dinners at King's in Jan 1807 (the Best of 1827 being likely someone different) and Williams was at all three dinners and quite likely to be different from the many other Williams who appeared in the diary., Though there was a Williams (and…
