All the above entries (except the rev Hudson 1804) are coded on the GD website to John Corrie Hudson, although the editorial notes on his person record say that they shouldn't be. The second entry should obviously be coded to the person record of Hudson Gurney. The three 1808 entries may have referred to Joseph Hudson copperplate printer of 13 China Row Lambeth (Holdens 1805) or possibly…

12th paragraph 6th sentence "His wife, Ruth Ball, eldest daughter of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, and widow of Captain Ball, naval officer, later married Samuel Humfrey of Pennydarren Place Glamorgan." This is a confusion of persons.

31.7.1795 general Hull at John Frank Newton's

There were no generals named Hull in the British forces at that time but the American general William Hull 1753-1825 (American National Biography) according to one report visited Europe about then. He lived at Newton, Massachusetts where he built a brewery in 1799 run by an English brewer, Newton the town may have had connections with John Frank Newton'sfamily. Another American general was at Newton's on 30.12.1795 (see Marshall, John)

Hume 3.8.1800 at (Castle) Brown's

GD website has coded this to Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844 but there's no reason to think he was in Ireland in 1800. Perhaps Gustavus Hume Dict Irish Biog 1732-1812 surgeon or his sons Thomas MD 1769-1850, Arthur, Gustavus & Travers. Sub 1798 to D R O'Conor Travers Hume DD Glebe Hill, Ardee, co. Louth. Rev Travers Hume = Oct 1787 Miss Balaguirere in Merrion Sq Dublin / Dublin Trades 1797 Arthur Hume agent Dublin Castle

Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844. Mentioned 540 times in Godwin's diary, only exceeded by Godwin's second wife, his two children, James Marshall, Thomas Holcroft, Charles Lamb, Thomas Turner, David Booth and John Fenwick. The DNB knows very little about him and most of their article concerns a practical joke he and Lamb played on William Hazlitt. He was born 9.4.1764 in Bishopsgate Street, London son of John Hume and Sarah Weatherly, who had been married on 14.3.1758 at St Augustine Watling St, London as bachelor and spinster. The births of their three children John, Ann and Joseph were…

18.1.1792 Huniades.

John Huniades was a Hungarian general who defeated the Turks and died in 1456. Godwin mentioned him in St Leon. By the time he wrote St Leon he was reading the 12 volume 1797 edition of Gibbon's Decline and Fall (te0884) but Gibbon was the most likely source of information on Huniades so he may have referred to an earlier edition at this point
