Presumably William Nicholson and George Robinson
 

20.9.1789 Nagel at Holcroft's and 27.9.1789 there. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1789, and in 1794 version

Oracle and Bell's New World 30.9.89, and St James Chronicle 1.10.89 "Friday evening last between 5 and 6 o'clock Captain Nagel was stopped about two miles and a half from Bushy Park by two highwaymen who robbed him of a ten pound bank note and his purse containing three guineas. The Captain was on a visit to Mr Burke at Beaconsfield" Friday was the 25th so maybe Nagel stayed at Holcroft's on his way to and from Burke. It fits with a pattern of foreign officers visiting Holcroft,…

Newcome 29.6.1800 on Holyhead coach (from Barnet) / 2.11.1813 call on Newcome

William Newcome DNB 1729-1800 archbishop of Armagh died 11.1.1800, his will PCC proved 6.6.1800 by his widow Anna Maria (nee Smyth her will PCC 1828 Clifton, Glos) in London. Perhaps Godwin was referring to her but though he seems to have often used plain surnames for actresses and authoresses I don't think he would have used one for an archbishop's widow on a first meeting on a coach
