Fillingham (& L Harrington) 20.1.1804 at theatre / 27.11.1804 la Harrington at Wake's / 27.1.1805 again / 18.3.1805 again / 16.5.1805 sir Edward Harrington at Wake's

Because the three la(dy) Harringtons at Wake's were followed by Sir Edward at Wake's I assume she was his wife and so the L(ord) Harrington at the theatre was probably Charles Stanhope DNB 1753-1829 3rd Earl of Harrington, army general and courtier (gold stick in waiting). Sir Edward Harrington (also spelt Harington) was the Mayor of Bath (where Wake had lived) knighted in 1795, "son of the physician" (Edward…

These are the Harris entries up to 1800 which the GD website has not coded to Thomas Harris, manager of Covent Garden theatre. Some of them may have been him but perhaps not as when he was dealing with Thomas Harris, Godwin was sending, writing,…

Christopher Harris of Shore Place, Hackney proposed Society for Constitutional Information 7.12.1787 by Michael Pearson 2nded John Redman

I found no connection with Shore Place, Hackney but this seems likely to have been the following Christopher Harris (because of Revolution Society committee 1788, subscription to Winterbotham 1795, and phrase re: liberty in his will written 1786).Christopher Harris appr 16.4.1784 for 7 yrs to George Bewley watchmaker of St Luke's, Old St, premium £40 /  Christopher Harris of St Olave, Old Jewry = St Olave Bermondsey 28.2.1782 Ann Read otp by…

Even assuming that the Harris at 1, 2 & 3 Poland St are one and the same, the name is too common to make a further identification. Saw will PCC 1794 of Thomas Harris coal merchant at Henley, no apparent links with London.…

Harry 15.3.1797 at Robert Knight's

Although Harry can be a surname ( 1790 H Harry bookseller and dealer in curiosities 379 Strand / 1784 Dr John Harry Bodmin Cornwall) in this case it may refer to Robert Knight's younger brother Henry Raleigh Knight his will PCC 1836 Lt Genl of Portman St Portman Sq. He married at St Geo Han Sq 1.12.1808 Juliana Botti who d 1859 age 79 their son Charles Raleigh Knight married in 1856, their eldest dau Juliana born 1811 married 1840 died at Rome 1854, their youngest dau Caroline Emily married in 1850.

Clearly Horne Tooke's daughters Mary & Charlotte Hart, though possibly their mother was sometimes included in Harts plural. The entry at Foulkes' in 1796 was the only singular one and the only one where Tooke wasn't there and the fact that…

A common name particularly in Yorkshire, not found any connected to Easingwold.

See GD website person record for Francis Rawdon Hastings, 1st Earl Moira and his DNB entry 1754-1826. Godwin noted calling on Moira twice in Ireland in 1800 (which could possibly mean his mother Lady Moira who, unlike him, appeared in Godwin's 1796 list and whose death Godwin noted as Countess of Moira in 1808) but noted Lord Moira's death in 1826 as Hastings. Moira also appeared in brackets with Byron & Rogers at Coleridge's lecture…
