Mrs Dunbar and F Dunbar were probably the same person, Godwin often used initials for female acquaintances, and as they became more frequently mentioned in the diary he would sometimes begin to use just a plain surname, though actresses and authoresses tended to get the plain surname earlier or even at first…

6.7.1810 write to Dunn

Godwin was writing to many booksellers throughout England in 1810, so Dunn may have been a bookseller. There was Jonathan Dunn of Nottingham publisher of the Mercury newspaper, trading 1793 to 1834; Brownrigg Nicholson Dunn of Whitehaven trading 1797 to 1812; and Charles Dunn jr of Birmingham trading 1807 to 1835. These three from bbti.bodleian.ox.ac.uk

see Duport, Adrien Jean Francois

13.11.1793 Dupont at Holcroft's should read Duport. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1793 and in 1794 version. (Check writing of these entries).

Jean Pierre Duport 1741-1818 French cellist (Grove) Rather than the cellist this is likely to have been the politician Adrien Jean Francois Duport 1759-1798 an associate of Lameth (see Lameth, Charles) who escaped to England about September 1792 (Dictionnaire de Biographie Francaise). He is also mentioned in Brightwell: Amelia Opie p56

Don Vincente de Durango was secretary to Spanish embassy in London 1805 and 1811

20.1.1807 Durham at Joseph Johnson's / 22.4.1808 Lamb (& Durham) at Coleridge's lecture

Unlikely to have been Shute Barrington (DNB 1734-1826) bishop of Durham - and Godwin would have probably added at least a Bp if it had been. No Durhams in Lamb or Coleridge letter indexes. I found nobody in Watt or Allibone the usual sources for authors who were often the guests at Johnson's. Also no Durhams in Holdens 1811 court section, six in trades (see work notes below). Perhaps one of the sons of Thomas Durham bookseller of 34 Cockspur-st (died 1798) and his wife Lilly (died 1800) who…
