Mr Christie proposed Society for Constitutional Information 20.4.1792 by John Frost 2nded John Lockhart

This seems likely to have been Thomas Christie (DNB 1761-1796) but since there was no surname or address entered in the minutes it's hard to be sure

Careful study will convince you that these all referred to Charles Clairmont (born 1795) who was usually noted as C when with several other children all with a single initial. The GD website has left them uncoded, even though it has coded later examples of C C to him. One C C that wasn't him was 23.2.1804 Golden Cross C C where Godwin and his brother Joseph boarded the…

Richard Clark, chamberlain of London (DNB 1739-1831) was presumably the last two entries above, and may have also been the first two (if not, I regard them as too hard to identify because the name is so common).

Clarke

18.6.1796 3 Clarkes at Tooke's / 12.11.1797 Clarke at Tooke's / 26.6.1798 Clarke calls (not in) / 13.7.1798 Clarke, Fell & M(arshall) at tea /  2.9.1802 Clarke calls   

See also Clarke, Mrs (work notes) / Clarke, Dr John / Clarke mystic for earlier entries of this name. The two entries at Tooke's had no other guest in common. In DNB sympathies with radical politics are noted for John Clarke 1757-1820 schoolmaster and Adam Clarke 1762-1832 Methodist and scholar. The last three could have been Dr John Clarke, or the Clarke at Tooke's, or another


Clarke, Charles Cowden

These entries are likely to have been Charles Cowden Clarke (DNB 1787-1877) particularly the last three, where Novellos were present, and after Clarkes's marriage to Mary Novello on 5.7.1828 Novellos & Clarke became Novello & Clarkes. Note the spelling Clark in 1824 demonstrating  that Godwin's spelling with or…

Clarke, Hewson

8.2.1806 Hewson Clarke callsn

Very likely Hewson Clarke (DNB 1787 - in or after 1845) who at age 18 had come down from Gateshead  to Cambridge University, but was more interested in literature than study and it's perhaps a shame that Godwin missed or refused the call and never recorded the name again. There is a burial record at St Dunstan in the West, London on 21.5.1817 for a Hewson Clarke age 29 from Serle's Place, which accords well with his birthdate and with  the reports of R Welford and E Mackenzie, (which are contradicted by works and letters published in his name…
