George Henderson, Cornhill joined "unnumbered division" (QV) 26.2.1794. I've not been able to identify him further. Cornhill was close to Bishopsgate near where the first members of that division lived.

3.5.1795 at Tooke's (& Kennedy) / 30.5.1797 Hepburn & Kennedy call / 9.9.1807 seek Hepburn

According to St Clair and GD website this was John Hepburn of Barfoot Haddington who later offered Godwin his landed property near Edinburgh as security for loans (1812). This seems probable for all entries coded to him on GD website from 1811 on, but I'm less sure about the three earlier entries above. John Hepburn farmer of Barefoot was certainly an enthusiastic radical who was prosecuted for a riot in Edinburgh on the day Maurice Margarot was to come to trial (Lloyds Evening Poast…

Herolet 9.10.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

GD website transcribed Hewlet wrongly, see Hewlett, John

Heron 28.10.1803 at Lamb's / 22.2.1805 Heron adv at Philips / 27.2.1805 Heron (Peltier) adv at Philips / 18.9.1806 meet Perry & Heron

Robert Heron DNB 1764-1807. Editor of Globe, British Press, parliamentary reporter, The Fame 1806. Not sure what his connection with Peltier (qv) and Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1849 was. The GD website has omitted the word Perry from its transcription of the 1806 entry above

24.10.1809 Heseltine calls

Perhaps William Heseltine printer Hand-court Upper Thames-st (Holdens directory 1811, & bbti 1809 & 1810)

H Heslop & J Calvert 16.4.1800 at Mary Robinson's / 11.6.1800 Heslop & Calvt at Mary Robinson's

Most of Mary Robinson's guests were male but Godwin often used initials for females even where (as here) there was no need for initials in order to distinguish people with the same surname. No other Heslops or Calverts appeared in Godwin's diary and both times they appeared they were together. The only H Heslop in PCC wills was Hannah Heslop widow of Aldersgate St 1824, see work notes below.

16.9.1806 Curran & Hetherington call

No clear identification. The only instance of this name in Godwin's diary. The format above does not mean he called with Curran, though he may have done. Andrew Hetherington & John Mackie wholesale perfumers of 40 Drury Lane went bankrupt and dissolved their partnership in October 1806. An Andrew Hetherington was buried 2.3.1814 at St James Westminster age 35 from Cumberland St, St Pancras. A William Hetherington of 31 Skinner's St, Somers Town was one of the spectators crushed to death at the Old Bailey in the crowd witnessing a hanging…
