Dolland

8.3.1807 dine at Plunket's, w. Dolland

The only example of this name in Godwin's diary. Nearly all the Dollands in directories were of the Dollond optician family (DNB per.1750-1871), very often spelt Dolland. Old Bailey 15.2.1804 Barnard Dollond cheese and ham dealer 89 Strand. The guests at Plunket's were mostly Irish and the name Dolland was not unknown in Ireland but I found no likely candidates.

Domville

25.3.1810 call on Domville (for C Ft)

Probably Alderman William Domville 7 New Ormond-st 1742-1833 had been bookseller and Master of the Stationers Company, became Lord Mayor of London 1813. I suggest that C Ft was Charlotte widow of Joseph Fawcett DNB 1758-1804 and it should be added to her person record on GD website (although she hadn't appeared in Godwin's diary since her husband died in 1804, but he noted her death in 1824, when she was living in Hornsey-road). Domville was from St Albans and Mrs Fawcett from nearby Ware, so that might suggest a connection.
