8.5.1788 Gillies at dinner at Cadell's in honour of Gibbon's birthday. It has been suggested that Godwin did not attend this dinner but noted those he had heard were present. Gillies appeared in Godwin's 1796 list for 1790 (crossed out) and in the 1794 version. His second apppearance in the diary was 18.4.1790 at Paradise's.

GD website has coded the first entry above to James Glenie DNB 1750-1817 whom Godwin met in 1793 but this seems unlikely, no evidence for connection in Ireland. Dr Glennie in 1807 may have been William Glennie, Doctor of Laws will PCC 1828. Some Irish Glennies in work notes below

The call of 20.11.1809 was in a string of booksellers and was probably Thomas Goddard military bookseller 1, Pall Mall (Holdens directory 1811).
Godfrey 18.3.1797 at Debrett's
Probably David Godfrey whose will PCC 1798 of Isleworth dated 22.11.1795, mentioned his schoolfellow Philip Francis of St James Sq (Sir Philip Francis DNB 1740-1818 went to St Pauls school) his godson Philip Francis, James Archdekin of Berners St (whose will PCC 1803 dated 5.8.1801 mentioned Philip Francis, John & Lucy Godfrey of Bedford Sq and Harwood's debt), and Charles James Fox, as well as his brother John Godfrey of Welby nr Melton Mowbray Leics, his late brother Peter, his sisters Ann Vieusseux and Elizabeth Gravier, William Harwood of…

Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies 1793 Mrs G-frey 6 Newman St (age about 30, plump, price 1 guinea though half will do). This doesn't sound like the successful courtesan described below, though she was said to have started in a brothel in nearby Berners St, she seems to have already been "kept" in Charlotte St by 1790. This was the only example I found of an address featuring in Harris's List and Boyle's Court Guide in the same year and though this could be ascribed to Mr Vileneuve's profession of dancing master, it's also…

from her mother's letter of May 1788 (Abinger c.1 f78) it seems she was in partnership with Frances and Anna French, (the unmarried sisters of Joseph Fawcett's wife Charlotte).
