Andrews, Francis

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r: M P Andrews, Lyttleton's Moloch, a letcherous old miser. M.

Francis Andrews 1718-1774 (A History of the Irish Parliament) fits the bill, in some people's views. There were no MPs with surname Andrews in English Parliament in 1754 - 1820. George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 would seem to be the likely author, but I can find no instance of Moloch in his works. M could be James Marshall or Basil Montagu among others

The only examples of the name Arch I found in Ireland were John Arch born 1748 Dublin and Nicholas Arch married 1773 Dublin. As with Tobin, Hume, Higgins, Ridgway and Johnson I reckon the GD website coding of those names in Ireland to Godwin's friends of those names in England is unconvincing, but If Colles was the bookseller Isaac Colles (which is just one possibility, see Colles) then perhaps the Arch in…
