Martin Davy DNB 1763-1839. He was a friend of Dr Samuel Parr's, became Doctor of Medicine in 1797, and was said to have been a religious sceptic though he later became a clergyman.

Dayes 12.2.1794 at J C Jennings'.

George Days married Catherine Povey at St James Piccadilly 11.12.1787 by archbishop's licence (wits J Days, Sarah Days). Catherine must have been the sister or other close relative of Elizabeth Povey who married Joseph Clayton Jennings in 1790.

HCR diary 30.11.1841 called "on Mrs De Morgan about Mrs Aders. I found her impression unfavorable - and even Mrs Gilman it seems is less friendly - perhaps it may be she is tired out. She said she thought I had been too kind"

Probably Sophia Elizabeth (1809-1842) wife of Augustus De Morgan (DNB 1806-1871) and daughter of William Frend (DNB 1757-1841). They married on 3.8.1837 and had seven children

Presumably Thomas Penson De Quincet (DNB 1785-1859)

7.1.1809 call on De Vint

Very likely Peter DeWint DNB 1784-1849, as his good friend William Hilton DNB 1786-1839 had been recently calling on Godwin. GD website has a person record for Hilton and is not fully sure of the identification, but De Vint strengthens it. Hilton had called on Godwin the night before, and called again two days later
