Busby, Thomas

Busbys at Philips 13.5.1802. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802

The six other instances of Busby in Godwin's diary have all been coded on GD website to Thomas Busby DNB 1754-1838. This one was probably missed because it was plural. Busby appeared 5 times at Sir Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1840 and Busby's DNB article mentions their connection, so it is strange that Busby appeared in the 1796 list in 1802 when Godwin had already noted him at Phillips' in 1801, and the attribution of a 1794 Busby to him seems probable. His name in the 1796 list has not been coded to his person record either…

Butler 22.7.1800 at Burton's / 7.11.1803 Butler at H Rowan's / 19.12.1827 breakfast at C Butler's

The 1827 entry above was probably Charles Butler DNB 1750-1832 whose work on the English, Irish and Scottish Catholics Godwin had consulted on 26.11.1827 & 27.11.1827. For various Irish Butlers see work notes below


Butler, Eleanor
