A-Z of Entries

3.5.1795 at Tooke's (& Kennedy) / 30.5.1797 Hepburn & Kennedy call / 9.9.1807 seek Hepburn

According to St Clair and GD website this was John Hepburn of Barfoot Haddington who later offered Godwin his landed property near Edinburgh as security for loans (1812). This seems probable for all entries coded to him on GD website from 1811 on, but I'm less sure about the three earlier entries above. John Hepburn farmer of Barefoot was certainly an enthusiastic radical who was prosecuted for a riot in Edinburgh on the day Maurice Margarot was to come to trial (Lloyds Evening Poast…

Herolet 9.10.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

GD website transcribed Hewlet wrongly, see Hewlett, John

Heron 28.10.1803 at Lamb's / 22.2.1805 Heron adv at Philips / 27.2.1805 Heron (Peltier) adv at Philips / 18.9.1806 meet Perry & Heron

Robert Heron DNB 1764-1807. Editor of Globe, British Press, parliamentary reporter, The Fame 1806. Not sure what his connection with Peltier (qv) and Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1849 was. The GD website has omitted the word Perry from its transcription of the 1806 entry above

24.10.1809 Heseltine calls

Perhaps William Heseltine printer Hand-court Upper Thames-st (Holdens directory 1811, & bbti 1809 & 1810)

H Heslop & J Calvert 16.4.1800 at Mary Robinson's / 11.6.1800 Heslop & Calvt at Mary Robinson's

Most of Mary Robinson's guests were male but Godwin often used initials for females even where (as here) there was no need for initials in order to distinguish people with the same surname. No other Heslops or Calverts appeared in Godwin's diary and both times they appeared they were together. The only H Heslop in PCC wills was Hannah Heslop widow of Aldersgate St 1824, see work notes below.

16.9.1806 Curran & Hetherington call

No clear identification. The only instance of this name in Godwin's diary. The format above does not mean he called with Curran, though he may have done. Andrew Hetherington & John Mackie wholesale perfumers of 40 Drury Lane went bankrupt and dissolved their partnership in October 1806. An Andrew Hetherington was buried 2.3.1814 at St James Westminster age 35 from Cumberland St, St Pancras.

30.11.1793 Hewardine at Wrights and 11.7.1794 at Mrs Jennings and 2.5.1797 at King's, with Swainson. In Godwin's 1796 list (crossed out) for 1793 and in 1794 version.

He often sang at Anacreontic Society with Dignum who was at Wrights with him in 1793.

dr Hewit & son 7.2.1805 at Wake's

The only medical doctor Hewitts I found were Thomas who died 1794 and Cornwallis who only got his MD in 1822. There were several surgeons, but this was more probably Alexander Hewat DNB 1738/9?-1824? who began his career as a minister in South Carolina came to London in 1777. in 1797 his sermon The Obligations of Christians to Avoid War was published. He married  Mrs Eliza Barksdale at St Marylebone on 16.9.1798, and she died in 1814. His will PCC 1824 Alexander Hewat DD of Gt Quebec St Marylebone mentioned no children

27.9.1788

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1788 (crossed out) and in 1794 version. GD website has a person record for him but the 1796 list entry is not coded to it.

John Hewlett DNB 1762-1844. The DNB states that he ran a school at Shackleford, Surrey. As he appeared in newspapers (e.g. Times 18.1.1800) as keeping a school in Shacklewell this looks like DNB's mistake rather than Godwin's. Shacklewell was near Hackney, Middlesex. The GD website event tag wrongly states reference unclear on 27.9.1788 T.C. goes to Shacklewell, when it is explained in John Hewlett's person record…

Hewson 22.8.1797 at Joseph Johnson's
