Sir Henry Wellwood Moncrieff 1750-1827 minister of the Church of Scotland (see Burke's Peerage & Baronetage). Though a supporter of Fox, he doesn't seem a likely candidate for Holcroft's visitor in 1796


Money, John

general Money 19.6.1799 at Opie's

John Money DNB 1739/40-1817 military theorist and balloonist. Of Trowse Newton, Norfolk so that may have been a connection with Mrs Opie (Amelia Alderson)

Montagu, Basil

The DNB entry for Basil Montagu is in error about the date Montagu married his 2nd wife, Laura Rush, which was at Glasgow on 6.9.1801. His 3rd wife was clearly the one in entries after 1806, she was famous as Thomas and Jane Carlyle's 'noble lady'.
Although Montagu first appeared in Godwin's 1796 list for 1795, the entry for 6.12.1794 was only a 'see' so may have been him.
The B M on f 46r of Vol VII of Godwin's diary before the 1796 list is surely him, see Montague, Sidney

Montague, Sidney

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r Sidney Montague for India, 1788 - refuses 5 guineas of BM, & takes 5s - about 21

See Gentleman Radical by C & D K Bewley, which cites Mrs Thelwall's Life of John Thelwall p77 and Samuel Rogers' Recollections p145. Sidney Montague was said to be Horne Tooke's illegitimate son, but I can find very little evidence for it in the sources that the Bewleys cite, they presumably had other sources that they didn't cite, particularly for the events involving Basil Montagu, who must be the B M above. Godwin's note above may be for all I know one of the…

Edward Moor DNB 1771-1848 writer on Hinduism left India Feb 1805. Listed in Allibone as Major Edward Moor


Moore (Ireland)

Moore 9.7.1800 at Lady Moira's / 12.7.1800 at Curran's / 28.7.1800 Devil's Glen with Lady Mountcashell, Mrs Moore & 2 enfants; dine, with them at Dunran / 5.8.1800 Arthur Moore at Wallace's trial at Carlow / 11.10.1801 Helen & Jane M dine (in Oxford) / 19.11.1801 H & J Moore call / 21.11.1801 C Mountcashel, H, J & miss Wilmot call

The first 2 entries above are coded in the GD website to John Moore DNB 1729=1802 but there's no reason to think he was in Ireland in 1800. Leaving aside those who supported the union with Britain as unlikely to have been at Curran's (…


Moore, Basing-lane

Moore, Charles

19.8.1795 C M adv at Inchbald's / 8.3.1796 C M adv at theatre / 7.8.1796 C M adv at Inchbald's / 23.2.1799 C Marsh, C M at Mackintosh's lecture / 2.3.1799 C M, C M at Mackintosh's Lecture

The C M entries up to 1799 may have been Charles Moore (d.1810 see Farington diary X 3646) son of Dr John Moore DNB 1729-1802. Charles Moore has a person record on the GD website, but these have not been coded to it. The two C Ms of 2.3.1799 may have been him and Charles Marsh who appeared as C Marsh in Mackintosh's first lecture. C M was later used for someone else, possibly Charlotte Mercier (see…


Moore, Graham

(faux?) G Moore 14.3.1798 in coach from Bath to London

A closer look at naval records at Kew might pinpoint whether Capt Graham Moore DNB 1764-1843 might have been going from Bath to London on that day. Certainly he had been present at the Fountain Inn Plymouth on 5.2.1798 for a meeting of navy captains, after capturing several enemy vessels already that year, this from the newspapers. Godwin had met him 15 times in the years 1794-7 and knew his father and brothers as well. So what made Godwin think his fellow passenger on a long coach journey might not be the real Graham Moore?


Moore, H

21.10.1795 H Moore at John King's / 26.1.1800 Moore at John King's / 8.6.1800 again

The second and third entries above are coded on GD website to Dr John Moore but were perhaps more likely the same as the H Moore of 1795


Moore, James

Ja & Chas 22.2.1796 at Dr Moore's.

James & Charles sons of Dr Moore. They quite often appeared together, this one has been missed in GD website
