dr Oakley 21.2.1797 at (Joseph) Johnson's / 14.3.1797 Oakley at Johnson's / 16.3.1797 Oakley calls / 30.3.1797 Oakley & Dyson dine
I have found no reference to any Doctor Oakley at this period. The only medical Oakley I found was Edward Oakley surgeon of Wimborne Minster Dorset will PCC 1818 but nothing in his will to suggest any connection with London literary circles

JOHN OGBORNE 1755-1837
CURRENT TEXT "Ogborne's marriage to Elizabeth Jackson (1763/4-1853) [see Ogborne, Elizabeth] probably took place around 1790 at the dissenting Tottenham Court Road Chapel."
SUGGESTED CHANGE <Ogborne married Elizabeth Jackson (1763/4-1853) at St Pancras on 20 March 1790. One of the witnesses was the engraver Robert Mitchell Meadows, who in 1793…
Ogilvie 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's
Ogilvie or Ogilvy was a common name but mainly Scottish, as mrs Plunket's gathering was probably mainly Irish this could have been William Ogilvie Dict Irish Biog 1740-1832. William Ogilvie DNB 1736-1819 who wrote to Godwin 28.7.1793 (Bodleian Abinger c2 f26) and whose book (te 0263 in GD website) Godwin had read on 13.11.1792 and 14.11.1792, he also read on 28.11.1792 and 12.12.1792 but these have not been coded to that text on GD website. (He was not likely to have been the Ogilvie at Plunket's)
18.11.1809 call on Ogle / 22.6.1816 again / 20.3.1822 again / 8.10.1827 again
The first entry above was in a string of booksellers and was very likely Robert Ogle bookseller 295 High Holborn (bbti). The other three calls were spaced out over a few years and could have been the same person but not certainly

14.7.1807 accompany T(homas) T(urner) to Oliver / 20.7.1807 meet Oliver at Taylor's
Oliver was a common surname but these two were possibles because one was an attorney and the other a near neighbour of Godwin's shop
Samuel Oliver attorney 23 Hatton Garden (Holden's 1811 directory). Articled 1801 to Robert Long attorney of Symonds Inn, son of Matthew Oliver of Holborn, draper.
George Oliver 3 Skinner-st Snow-hill linendraper (P O directory 1810 & SunFire 1803 to 1815). His will PCC 11.2.1833 of 3 Skinner-st wife Ann

21.11.1795 O at King's / 17,5.1800 dine at Milton Gallery with Opie; sup at Hoare's with O
John Opie DNB1761-1807 must surely have been the O at Hoare's in 1800 but GD website has it underlined. By the same token the Reynolds who supped at Hoare's was probably Samuel William the engraver rather than Frederick as the GD website has coded it. Read the whole entry for that day if you don't follow me. The O at King's 21.11.1795 was possibly also Opie who was there on 3.12.1795

Only instance in Godwin's diary. Ormondy or more commonly Ormandy mostly found in NW of England and in Dublin. John Ormandy stationer of Liverpool will PCC 1842 mentioned wife Cathetrine. As Johnson's family came from Liverpool area this was likely a relative by marriage or business associate

Otley appeared 7 times between 1790 and 1792 always with Holcroft and mostly with known musicians (Clementi, Shield, Bosse). On 6.7.1792 Godwin listed 8 guests at Holcroft's and added 'quartets' - all the other 7 can be shown to be professional or amateur musicians which suggests Otley was a musician too
