Samuel Felton died 1802 (PCC wills). Fellow of Royal Society, Fellow of Society of Antiquaries, member of Society for Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce.

The birth record of Orlando Fenwick in 1798 (Nat Arch RG4/4661 and RG5/36) stated his maternal grandparents were Peter and Elizabeth Jaco.

Perhaps a reference to Eliza Anne daughter of John and Elizabeth Fenwick. Followed by Pidcock's, Exeter Change, the two other occasions when Godwin visited Pidcock's menagerie were with children, see Pidcock, Gilbert. For her later appearances see her person record in GD website and see Rutherford, William on this site. The 1801 entry above has the first E unidentified in GD website, but this was probably a way of noting mother and daughter without father

Henry Field DNB 1755-1837 was very likely the Annuity Office Field in 1808. His son Barron Field DNB 1786-1846 was the Field most closely linked to Charles Lamb so is the most probable candidate for all the Fields from 1811 on. Henry Field's eldest daughter Esther was born 1792 so could have been at Lamb's…

HCR diary 8.1.1828 walked with B Field to Mrs Blake, shortly after the death of William Blake (DNB 1757-1827) "We found that the Job is Linnell's property and the print of Chaucer's pilgrimage hers - Therefore Field bought a proof and I two prints at 2 and a half guineas each - I mean one for Lamb"

Ad. Fievee dines 20.5.1802 / 24.6.1802 E Christie dines; adv A Fievee & anonyme

The editorial notes of Joseph Fievee's person record on the GD website say he was accompanied by his son on his visit to England in 1802. His son was born about 1790. Adolphe Joseph Theodore Louis Fievee was an artist in France in the late 1840s and an author in the 1860s and 1870s. Perhaps more likely this was a grandson but the names Joseph and Theodore are suggestive of Joseph Fievee and his partner Theodore Leclerq

theatre, 2/3 Figaro & mrs Smith 19.6.1823

The event tag on the GD website which usually identifies the play is blank. On that date The Marriage of Figaro, and Mrs Smith or the Wife and the Widow were showing at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. The latter one-act play performed 23 times "seems not to have been printed" (The English Stage IX 207)

John Finbor 109 St John St joined 5.5.1794 the "unnumbered division" (QV)

Not sure if I read the handwriting of his name right, but I could find nothing about anyone of that name (or of any similar name associated with St John St)

Probably there were three sets of Finch here, that of 1812 in Salisbury, that of the two 1805 entries and the two 1824 entries all connected to Godwin…
