see Poland Street 1 to 9 & 49 to 62 in London Addresses dataset

Stephen Garibaldi ratebooks 9 Poland St 1787-9 / Highfill,Burnim & Langhans. He played bass viol and died 1790 at Calais . There were two "Covent Garden ladies" at this address in 1790 according to Harris's List so it's not clear whether he would have been their landlord

Garlick 24.3.1801 at Joseph Johnson's

1.4.1796 Amelia Alderson & Garnham call on Godwin

In Amelia Opie (nee Alderson)'s DNB entry a letter from her to Robert Garnham in Henry Crabb Robinson's papers dated 1800 is quoted. He was the son of the master of Bury St Edmund's school, went to Trinity College Cambridge and died 1802 aged 50, will PCC 1802. 5 of his works are in Eighteenth Century Online

Garrard 9.1.1801 at Northcote's

5.1.1789 Garthshore at B Hollis'. 9.5.1790 and 23.5.1790 at Paradise's

Maxwell Garthshore DNB 1732-1812. He is also mentioned in Godwin's letters (Abinger c.7 f54). Less likely that any of these refer to his son William, who had probably set out on a tour of Europe by then



 

Garver 3.3.1802 at Joseph Johnson's

A rare name and when it turns up it is often a mistranscription, e.g. of Guiver. The only instances I have found were John Garver, constable of Hackney in 1818, and Nicholas Garver grocer of Boston Massachusetts 1823. Possibly a German visitor called Garve

call on (Gascoyne) 4.3.1803 / 5.3.1803 call on Gascoyne / 23.2.1810 dine at Johnson, w. 2 Gascoynes

The first call was for some reason in brackets (after a call on Perry) and was marked n for "not in" or similar. The next day Godwin made the call successfully. Possibly Thomas Gascoigne 1745-1810. He had been a Whig MP and was a member of the Society of Antiquaries from 1788. He may have been the Col. Gascoyne with a town address at 13 Tavistock Sq (Boyle's 1800) but that may have been Joseph Gascoyne of Tavistock Sq will PCC 1830. It's also possible he was no longer well by 1803 or…

meet Gatecliff 30.7.1800 (in Ireland)

Jackson's Oxford Journal 17.4.1802 Captain John Gatecliff of Hull = at Beverley Minster miss Atkinson of Beverly Park / Hull Packet 30.7.1805 died 24.7.1805 aged 70 widow of Mr Gatecliff shipowner of Hull / 1807 Captain Gatecliff captured by the French / a rare name so quite likely to have been the Captain from Hull

Gattie 29.4.1799 at G's head with Suett, Sedgwick &c

If Suett and possibly Sedgwick were actors, Henry Gattie DNB 1774-1844 would be in context, but according to the DNB he made his debut as an actor at Bath in 1807. William Gattie of Brompton Row Middlesex will PCC 1814 had a perfumers and combmakers business. See also my entry for Gatty

5.11.1808 call on Gatty (sworn) / 22.12.1808 call on Gatty (not seen) / 30.10.1811 call on Gatty / 1.11.1811 call on Gatty, w. C(harles) C(lairmont) (indenture) / 16.2.1817 dine at L(eigh) Hunt's, adv. Gatty / 15.9.1830 dine at Ollier's, w. Gatty

The 1808 and 1811 entries probably referred to an attorney, likely either William Gatty of East-st Red Lion-sq or Robert Gatty of Angel-ct, Throgmorton-st, both of whom were also of the King's Remembrancer's Office, Inner Temple. Robert (will PCC 1838) appears from their wills to have been a brother of William (will PCC 1821). William had 8…
