miss Kaine 8.8.1800 at Burne's (in Ireland)

10.2.1795 at King's / 27.3.1795 at Geralds (with King) / 1.4.1795 Godwin meets him before dining at King's. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1795, inserted above with King's other guests G Rogers, Anderson & Davis.

I found a Henry Kaines butcher of Dukes Shore, Limehouse, will PCC 1801, and a Thomas Kaines of St Marylebone buried 24.10.1827 age 65 at Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, Spa Fields but no good reason it should be either of them except that the name is rare. Looked at variants Kanes, Caines, Canes and Keynes with no more luck

Cary/miss Carey.
(Should be added to Identified person Fell, Sarah) 16.4.1797 Cary at dinner at H G's / 28.8.1798 at tea at Godwin's, adv H G & her / 30.8.1799 at dinner at Godwin's, adv Fell, H G & her / 3.11.1799 dines at Godwin's with H G and Fell.

Maurice Keating DNB d.1835 & History of Parliament, army officer, opposition MP, and author

Kedden 7.11.1800 at theatre (& Sarah Elwes) / 15.1.1801 tea at Kedden's (& Sarah Elwes) / 10.2.1802 call with Sarah Elwes on Kedden

Probably the Rev William Kedden son of Ralph of Fareham, Hants (will PCC 1777 Gosport) Magdalen Hall Oxford BA 1801. He was a friend of the Rev Lockhart Gordon (not to be confused with Pryse Lockhart Gordon, see my entry for Gordon) who was involved in a scandalous court case in 1804 concerning the abduction by Lockhart Gordon and his brother Lauden of a Mrs Lee, who however compromised the case against them by admitting she later agreed to have…

Keenan 23.2.1803 at Northmore's / 8.12.1803 Keenan calls / 11.1.1804 again / 25.1.1804 again

John Keenan c1785-1819 Irish painter. See Shelley and his Circle SC 54

4.8.1807 dine at Johnson's w. Keene / 26.8.1808 again / 19.10.1810 again / 8.10.1812 call on Keene, Dublin (not seen) / 13.10.1812 Keene of Dublin calls

Starting with the last two entries above, this may have referred to Martin Keene 1781-1846 bookseller of 6, College Green, Dublin, or to his father Arthur Keene of Charlemont-st, Dublin will PCC 4.10.1822. As a publisher Martin Keene seems to have been anti-Catholic, and he was King's printer in partnershop with the Grirsons (Dict Irish Biog). Possibly he was also the earlier Keene at Johnson's, if he visited London most years.…

Peter Keir coach axletree & box manufacturer, near Veterinary College St Pancras. Collections for prisoners under suspension of Habeas Corpus 1796, 1799 & 1818. John Thomas son of Peter & Elizabeth Keir born 25.9.1791 bapt 18.5.1800 St Pancras. Absence of baptisms for C, K & R Keir may suggest scepticai outlook. C appeared twice with Orlando Fenwick (born 1798) so was probably quite a small…

Kell 27.2.1804

The first entry above at King's might be Michael Kelly DNB 1762-1826 singer and composer, but there's no particular reason to think so. I would suggest John Francis Kelly an army officer noted in the Reminiscences of Rees Howell Gronow DNB 1794-…

Cha K 12.4.1795 adv at Siddons / C K 27.10.1799 at Kemble's

Both theses should clearly be added to Charles Kemble DNB 1775-1854

Perhaps William Edwardes 1777-1852 Lord Kensington Irish peer and MP for Haverfordwest 1802-1816 see History of Parliament, supporter of Grenville, 30 Old Burlington-st.
