mrs Fonsaick 4.6.1794 at (Joseph) Jennings'.

PCC 1770 James Fonseque of Lincoln, Jacob Fonseque 1782 merchant 33 Threadneedle St or Rainbow coffee house, PCC 1807 Rachel Fonseque widow Jamaica

Fontana 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Perhaps Gregorio Fontana 1735-1803 colleague of Volta's at Pavia, wrote to Sir Joseph Banks 1787, or Felice Fontana 1730-1805 Florentine scientist. I could find no reference to either of them visiting England at this time in the Italian Biographical Dictionary though I don't read Italian very well

Jesse Foot DNB 1744-1826 surgeon.  A good example of how Godwin varied spelling of names randomly

Forbes 7.11.1803 at Hamilton Rowan's / 24.1.1811 Forbes calls / 23.4.1820 Forbes at Hume's

Possibly George John Forbes, Viscount Forbes Hist of Parl 1785-1836, son of Earl Granard and nephew of Lord Moira, a Whig who went over to government around 1812 except on the Catholic question where he always supported Catholic relief. Possibly Charles Fergusson Forbes DNB 1779-1852 surgeon or his father William Forbes 1753-1818 surgeon will PCC 1818 his widow's will PCC 1825 Elizabeth Forbes formerly Buxton. The family were Independents from Coggeshall, Essex and Charles's sister Anna…

In 1796 list for 1782 underlined, but not in 1794 version, nor in any diary entries before 1806 when it was unlikely to have been the person suggested below
Perhaps Edward Ford DNB 1746-1809 surgeon in London

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1779, also in 1794 version and list of 17 (at end of diary Vol VI see 1796 list on this website) though one of 5 from that list who were dropped in the list of 25 that preceded the1796 list. Person record in GD website but 1796 list entry not coded to it 

James Fordyce DNB 1720-1796. Up to 1782 a noted London preacher though of declining popularity by 1779, Godwin noted his death on 1.10.1796

5.11.1789 Forsaith at Rev Socy.

Robert Forsaith (Surman index) 1749-97 was an assistant minister at Norwich 1770-82 so Godwin may have recognized him from then. Then Classics tutor at Daventry 1785-9 and at Northampton 1790-7
 

23.5.1790 Forster at Paradise's. In Godwin's 1796 list as Foster crossed out, and in 1794 version

Georg Adam Forster DNB 1754-94 son of Reinhold Forster DNB 1729-98. By this time the father was living in Germany but the son was on a journey whch he made into a book and which included a visit to England.

David F 3.12.1794 at Foulkes'.

The F must surely stand for Foulkes and this was presumably a relation. A David Foulkes son of Edward, clerk of St Asaph was admitted to Oxford 1764 age 19 and another David Foulkes son of Rees of Denbigh was admiited to Cambridge in 1764. Rees Foulkes was an attorney of Denbigh in 1737 and 1748 and took apprentice Edward son of Edward Foulkes in 1743, and may have been the Rees Foulkes Esq of Gwernygron, Flintshire who died at Chester in May 1767, his unmarried daughter Rachel dying in 1827. A David Foulkes clerk of Plascock, St Asaph died in 1800 (…

F's on 21.6.1795 must be Foulkes', as Watley only appeared at Foulkes'. Seems to be a case of Godwin using the abbreviation because the space was full in the diary

On 29.9.1787 John Foulkes esq of Clements Inn married Phillipa, daughter of the Rev Brownlow Toller of Billingsborough, Lincs. She obtained a legal separation from him with substantial alimony on the grounds of his great cruelty and adultery on appeal to Doctors Commons in December 1802 (Bury & Norwich Post 15.12.1802), so she was clearly not be the mother of his five children who were probably not baptised but whose…

Charles James Fox DNB 1749-1806. Not clear who L was, perhaps Thomas Lawrence, Sir Walkin Lewes, Dr William Lister? Latin word apud probably here in the sense of "according to", but not clear who C was (see Burke, Edmund)

27.4.1788 see baron Fox (in Kensington Gardens). In Godwin's 1796 list for 1788, and in 1794 version. The GD website for some reason identifies this person in its event tag instead of in a person record and the entry in the 1796 list is uncoded
