Barnet 26.3.1800 at John King's / 11.7.1800 (in Ireland) adv Scully & Barnet at Moira's / 25.4.1828 Barnet at C Jones's / 10.10.1828 again / 10.1.1831 invited to C Jones's

The Barnet at King's may have been Edward Barnet because in 1812 Augustus Butler Danvers instituted Chancery proceedings against an Edward Barnet (National Archives C13/207/21). Danvers was engaged in Chancery suits with a number of the guests at his father-in-law John King's, these may have been "friendly" suits.

Barrale, Miss

30.7.1795 miss Barrale at King's (possibly the same person as miss Bannal at King's 3.12.1795)

Judging by results on Ancestry website, the name Barrale was rare in England at that time, more common in France. But one strange anomaly is, there are quite a number of Barrale entries on Ancestry in the censuses of 1841, 1851 &c but absolutely none in the Death Registration Indexes.

One entry in the 1841 census could be the person at King's in 1795. Amy Barrale age 75 of 6 Palmers Almhouses, St Margaret's Westminster sharing her household with Trevanion Kelly, schoolmistress…

7.8.1807 lock at S(kinner) S(treet); adv. T(homas) T(urner) & Barret, constable, 3 Hodgkinses

I haven't found any mention of a constable called Barrett or Barret around this time


Barrington

Barrington 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow, & dines same day. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1800

Jonah Barrington DNB 1756/7-1834


Barrow

mrs Barrow 6.7.1794.

Mr Edward Barrow of Norwich Socy for Const Inf "a considerable warehouseman" (Trials for Treason & Sedition 6.196) and a member of Rev Samuel Newton's Independent church, Old Meeting (Jewson p 29, 137). Yarn factor, Colegate St Norwich 1784; warehouseman with Isaac Barrow, St Stephen's Norwich 1784-9; cotton manufacturer St Michael Coslany, Norwich 1789.

Barrow, Isaac

20.5.1792

Barrow's mathematical lectures should be added to te0179 (5.7.92)

 


Barrow, Richard

Barrow 16.7.1794 at Newgate.

I suggest this was the surgeon Richard Barrow who was probably visiting a fellow medic (see Hodgson, William) and was shortly afterwards confined in Newgate himself, along with Robert Watson, for libels to excite rebellion, based on an incident at Miller's cookshop, Smithfield on 23.8.94. The criminal register gives his age as 24 and describes him as an apothecary of Stratton Ground, Westminster, 5ft 7ins, grey eyes, dark brown hair, sallow complexion. An advert in the Telegraph of 19.9.95 says he "recently commenced parctice", and the Whitehall Evening…


Barrow, William

William Barrow DNB 1754-1836 was the master of Soho Academy. On 1.11.1791 T (Thomas Cooper) goes to school and on 13.12.1791 speeches Soho school

 


Barry

7.4.1810 Barry calls (not seen) / 30.4.1810 Barry calls / 14.8.1833 call on Barry &c

Up until the death of James Barry DNB 1741-1806 the GD website has coded plain Barry entries to him, and col. Barry entries to Henry Barry DNB 1749/50-1822, who lived in Bath. Godwin wrote to Henry Barry in 1809. The first two entries above could have been to Henry, if he was on a visit to London.


Barry, Henry

19.1.1789 Barry

Should be Major Henry, not James. Boyles Court Guide 1792 gives his address as 14 James St Westminster and checking his neighbours with the ratebooks confirms this is James St near Buckingham Gate
31.8.1792 Barry 'veut acheter'. More likely the major than the painter if he had the money to buy whatever Godwin and/or Holcroft wanted to sell

 


Barry, James

HCR diary 27.6.1820 I just made a note - Flaxman against Barry (husband of mistress, Nollekens and lace hat). I don't recall the story but it was certainly John Flaxman (DNB 1755-1826) telling an anecdote of James Barry (DNB 1741-1806)


Barthelemon

Barthelemis 14.1.1802 at Fenwick's (& Plumptres, Fells)

Surely Francois Hippolyte Barthelemon DNB 1741-1808. He lived at Vauxhall not far from the Fenwicks. In the context of other plural names the misspelling still suggests some of his family were present. His first wife died in 1799 and his daughter Cecilia DNB 1767-1859 had married Edward Prentis Henslow in 1797, though she may have still been known by her stage name to Godwin. Barthelemon married secondly on 4.4.1802 Sarah Ray of Kingsland, Hackney. By this time he was a Swedenborgian and his two children by her were…
