On 13.3.1794 Godwin dined at Wedgwood's where Kinsman was present. On 26.9.1798 he met miss Kinsman near Watford. In (Abinger c.17 f66-7) is a copy of Godwin's letter to her about that meeting. In reply he got a letter from her brother H Kingsman who said he knew Godwin (Abinger c.4 f47-8). In the 1796 list E Kingsman is towards the end of 1798, and D Kingsman near the start of 1799. On 8.5.1799 at Langley-berry he saw Mrs and Misses Kingman. Dorothea and Emily were the daughters of William Long Kingsman of Langleybury, Herts. Dorothea died in 1800 (her will Nat Arch PROB11/1348). Emily…

22.6.1810 Kingston &c call

Godwin rarely shortened a list of callers with a &c (I sometimes shorten Godwin's lists with &c). In this case he did the same the day before, and on this day he followed it with a colon and a further list of callers. All of which suggests a number of undesired callers, or ones whose names were not worth remembering?

See Cooper, Elizabeth Priscilla. John Kingston MP (1735-1820) Oporto wine merchant, and director of Sierra Leone Company, lived at Oak Hill, Barnet, and at Stratford Place (History of Parliamnet: will Nat Arch PROB11/1639)

Godwin took tea at Kirkley's on 9.8.1799, followed by a call on Elkins. This was Sir Joshua Reynolds' servant Ralph Kirkley, one of whose daughters married at St Marylebone 22.12.1798 William Elkins, a bookseller who went bankrupt in 1800.
 

Kirkmans 5.4.1795 adv at Batty's /  21.8.1810 & 11.9.1810 call on Kirkman

Joseph Kirkman, Esq London subscribed to Robert Robinson's Ecclesiastical Researches 1792. See DNB for Jacob & Abraham Kirkman harpsichord makers who were both dead by 1795.

21.8.1810 Guildhall; Tabart, Kirkman &c / 11.9.1810 Baptist C H; Tabart, Kirkman &c

Kirkman only appeared in Godwin's diary at two of the sessions for Tabart's bankruptcy, but I couldn't find anyone of the name Kirkman in the book trades or legal profession.. Since Tabart had a long association with Soho it may have been the piano maker Joseph Kirkman (his will PCC 1830) of 19 Broad-st, Soho, son of Abraham Kirkman DNB 1737-1794 who may have been one of Tabart's creditors

10.12.1800

The GD website discusses the coding of LK in its editorial notes for the person record of Leonora Knapp, suggesting that apart from one entry on 29.5.1830, Leonora Knapp didn't appear in Godwin's diary after 1815, with which I agree. However there are many LK entries after 1815 coded to Leonora Knapp and they should all be transferred to Louisa Holcroft/ (Kenney) nee Mercier. In the period between Louisa Holcroft's marriage to Kenney in March 1812 and the end of 1815 Godwin gradually shifted his use of LK from Knapp to Kenney. Two of those entries I think GD website has…

HCR diary 18.3.1832 "went to the Aders - the Knights were there"

                      2.6.1832 "called on Mrs Aders - the Knights there"

                    10.8.1832 "went to Mrs Aders - Knight there - consequently not much"

Knight was a very common name and these were the only times they were mentioned in HCR diary in connection with the Aders. It was shortly before Aders' financial problems became public. Nevertheless I could make a stab at guessing this was the family of Charles Knight (DNB 1791-1873)

call on Knight, com 12.4.1804 with M(arshall)

The com probably stood for comedian so this entry should be added to the person record for Thomas Knight DNB d.1820 on GD website
