D'Alton

miss D'Alton 20.8.1792 at Brand Hollis.

There were three Irish generals named D'Alton in the Austrian service; this may well be Frances, daughter of late General Count D'Alton who married Sir Richard Steele in March 1793 and died Frances Mary Steele 17.7.1857 at Weymouth (newspapers).

Darcy

Darcy 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow

 


Dargle & Scalp

13.7.1800 dine at la. Mountcashel's with C(urran) (Dargle & Scalp) / 14.7.1800 Dargle & Water-fall

Dargle is the river that flows to the sea at Bray south of Dublin, and Scalp the name of a hill near that river and the village of Enniskerry, or that is as much sense as I could get out of Google maps


Davis, (Ireland)

Davis, apud Leland, pp.18.  10.8.1800 / 11.8.1800 meet Davis

On 9.8.1800 Godwin had resumed his reading of Leland's History of Ireland after his journey to Carlow and reached p182 (presumably of Vol 3). I'm not clear what he meant by Davis apud Leland, must have a look at the Leland. Apud generally means "in" when applied to a book. Was it just coincidence that he met Davis the next day?


Delane

Quite likely Hugh Doherty Esq. (often spelt Dogherty) brother of John Doherty DNB 1783-1850 son of John Doherty attorney of Dublin. Cornet in 29th Light Dragoons eloped in 1802 with 15 year old Ann Holmes daughter of Thomas Hunter formerly Holmes, a wealthy East India…
