Henry Gunning DNB 1768-1854. Ickleton is just south of Cambridge, where Gunning was bedell. Gunning married Susan Bertram in 1794 at Lakenham, just south of Norwich. He was an advanced whig in politics (DNB)

ELIZABETH GUNNING (1769-1823)
CURRENT TEXT "her marriage in 1803 to Major J. Plunkett from Kinnaird in co. Roscommon, with whom she had several children."
SUGGESTED CHANGE <her marriage on 5th November 1803 at St George Hanover Square to Major James Plunkett from Kinnaird in co. Roscommon, who had been arrested in London in 1798 for his part in the rebellion at Connaught. They had several children.>
NOTES See Godwin Diary dataset under Plunket
mrs Gurney 1.1.1800 at O Fancourt's
Perhaps the wife of John Gurney DNB 1768-1845 who was Maria daughter of William Hawes DNB 1736-1808. They were married at St Botolph without Bishopsgate on 11.12.1797, her first child was born 27.4.1799 and her second 16.8.1800. Most of the other Gurney wives would more likely have been in Norfolk. It could have been her mother-in-law Rebecca (nee Brodie) 1747-1814, but given the context of mrs Fancourt's the younger wife seems more likely. See Hawes for the visit of the miss Hawes' to Thelwall's in 1795, which suggests an adventurous spirit

John Philpot Curran (DNB 1750-1817) seems to have had a number of mistresses in his life, see my entries for Hughes, Maria, for Dixon (mrs Dixon) and for W Place (mrs Fitzgerald). Godwin sometimes used initials for convenience, but particularly for children, and also for women, perhaps especially when mentioning their name was a socially delicate matter. They could also have been abbreviations for some politically sensitive subject. For possible identity of C M, see Mercier, Charlotte. Godwin…
H, C, M & M Moore call 28.12.1794.
H C and M are presumably Holcroft, Cooper and Marshall rather than Matthew Moore's family
