mrs Halker 27.3.1798 adv at Chandler's with miss Valpy

Though easily confused with the commoner name Hasker in newsprint fonts of the time, and with Walker in handwriting, Godwin seems to have written Halker, and the name did exist. She may have been governess or chaperone to miss Valpy.

Hall 4.8.1800 at Burne's, Carlow

HCR diary 9.8.1832 "I took Mr hall to see Mrs Aders' pictures - she was there and thus the whole morning - for we went to the Athenaeum - was spent with him. Mrs A: says he has a good taste and knowledge of paintings, tho' his taste is not altogether for the old masters"

Edward Hall apothecary Long Acre proposed Society for Constitutional Information 11.1.1782 by Thomas Brand Hollis 2nded Richard Brocklesby

Main sources wills PCC of William Hall 1773, Betty Hall 1796, Edward Hall 1798 and an Ancestry user-submitted tree named BOUTCHER. Edward Hall was the son of John Hall staymaker of Preston, Lancs and his wife Margaret. His sister Margaret married at Preston 10.6.1758 William Hardman, the marriage bond dated 8.6.1758 signed by William Hardman, attorney's clerk and John Hall staymaker both of Preston. Edward's father may have been the John Hall who…

18.11.1809 call on Hamilton

Coded on GD website to Samuel Hamilton printer. After the fire at his works in 1803 he seems to have moved to Shoe-lane in 1805 but by 1809 he had probably moved to Weybridge, and this call is in a string of calls on booksellers, so was probably Thomas Hamilton bookseller 37 Paternoster-row or less likely Alexander Hamilton bookseller 14 & 15 Temple-pl Blackfriars-rd

7.11.1788 Archd. This must be Archibald Hamilton, either son or grandson of Archibald Hamilton (see his Person Record in GD website)

Also probably 9.9.1795 call on A H / 15.2.96 call on A Hn

 

17.7.1795 tea at Amelia Alderson's with John Walker & Capt Hamilton. adv  Dyer. Miss Alderson was perhaps staying with the Batty's but Godwin didn't mention them. An unmarried lady having four random gentlemen to tea was perhaps a bold and unusual event.

There were 3 naval captains at the time, Sir Charles Hamilton DNB 1767-1849, Charles Powell Hamilton and Thomas Hamilton; and plenty more in the Army. Boyle's 1794 had a Col H at 15 James St Westminster and another at 35 Gt Marlborough St. A letter of 1804 from a Capt Hamilton to Sir William Windham Dalling (1175-1864)…

Charles Hamilton of Bath proposed Society of Constitutional Information 21.6.1782 by John Jebb 2nded Edward Bridgen

Fairly clearly not the Hon Charles Hamilton of Bath (History of Parliament 1704-86) whose politics would have had to change in his last years and whose Honourable title would probably have been used by the Society. SunFire 1782 Charles Hamilton Esq, Bath. General Evening Post 18.3.1780 Gumbleton Esq married Tuesday at Queen Sq Chapel, Bath, Miss Hamilton dau of Charles Hamilton Esq of Bath.

16.4.1796 Hamilton, Blake, Christal, mrs Gregory & dr Crawford at miss Hayes / 12.11.1796 miss Hamilton at Hayes's

Elizabeth Hamilton DNB 1756-1815 and see Correspondence of Mary Hays p312. A friend of Mary Hays who fell out with her over the review of her first major work in the Analytical Review of October 1796 supposedly written by Hays. Godwin often dropped the miss or mrs for women, particularly authors. But the plain Hamilton on 16.4.1796 might also be the S Hamilton who according to Correspondence of Mary Hays p299 was assisting Dr George Gregory as editor of the…

William Hamilton born 1758 Strabane co. Tyrone, elected physician to London hospital 1787, Physician to Surrey Dispensary resigned by 1806 (Morning Post 27.2.1806), died 22.5.1807 of Old Broad St (Monk's Roll). Haven't found any will of his. The Hamilton, friend of Curran's, of 1804 seems likely to have been a different person, Godwin having already noted…

Hammond 20.12.1797 adv at Reveley's  / 5.1.1798 again  / 20.4.1798 Lister's, New Inn / 5.5.1798 adv at Lister's

These entries may have all referred to one person but there is nothing to link the first two at Reveley's with the next two at (Samuel) Lister's. At the latter the company was mostly attorneys (Lister, Lawson, [Richard] Wordsworth, Jos[hua Lucock] Wilkinson) so Hammond may have been Richard Hammond attorney of Gt James St, Bedford Row (with William Whitton) Law List 1800. A Richard Hammond son of John Hammond of Great Marlow, Bucks was articled 17.12.1785 to…

HCR diary 1.1.1820 tea at Aders "I was glad to be withdrawn for a time from the melancholy subject"

                 23.5.1820 Hamond's view of Crabb Robinson "kindhearted, gay, ingenious, animated, well read man with a good taste in morals & poetry but he is as far from being an interesting man as Joe Rolley who was called so by Pollock. His manners are too coarse - he has too little ambition, too much vanity & garrulity"

4.1.1808 call on Hankey

This name only appears this once in Godwin Diary. The Hankeys were a major banking family in the City of London, providing several Lord Mayors. The main members still alive in 1808 were Robert (will PCC 1815), his son Augustus Robert (will PCC 1830) and his nephews Frederick and Thomson (both wills PCC 1855), William Alers who went bankrupt as a West India broker in 1831 and John Barnard. The main  bank was in Fenchurch Street. There were also less grand shopkeepers: Thomas Hankey dealer in sticks 15 Marylebone St 1784, orange merchant and cane dealer…
