Maybe the attorney John Hardcastle, 1787 with Michael Hodgson over the Crown Office, Kings Bench Walk, Temple, 1800 at 7 Lincolns Inn New Sq, Morning Chronicle 2.3.1801 advert for creditors of his estate. In 1797 Law List there was also an attorney James Hardcastle of 21 Dean St Soho. In Godwin diary after Dennet who was also likely an attorney

18.11.1809 call on Hardinge

In a string of calls on booksellers and directly after Triphook bookseller in St James-st, this was probably John Harding bookseller 36 St James-st (bbti)

11.7.1793 at Inchbald's. In Godwin's 1796 list (crossed out) for 1793, and in 1794 version.

Probably George Hardinge DNB 1743-1816 judge and writer. Boyle's 1792 Geo Hardinge Esq MP 34 Bedford Sq. He may also have been the later (1808-11) Hardinge in Godwin's diary but I haven't checked that yet
 

Hardistys 8.2.1799 at King's

Perhaps George Hardisty attorney 43 Gt Marlboro St, clerk of subpoena office 120 Chancery La 1795-1800, signed Friends to Liberty of Press 1792, will PCC 1811 dated 1786 Warwick Lane mentioned wife Ann.

Hardkus 27.10.1798 at John King's

Careful examination of Godwin's manuscript diary suggests this may have been Hardkers. I've found no instances of the name Hardkus in any sources but the name Hardker can be found occasionally in the north of England and in USA, possibly a variant of Hardaker. But I've not found any person of that name who might have been referred to here, in the plural.

Hardy horloger 10.6.1801 at Keir's

If you click on this underlined name in GD website it takes you to an unidentified person record with a date of 10.6.1806, if you click on that date it takes you to the diary entry for 10.6.1801 but headed as 10.6.1806

Holdens 1811 Thomas Hardy watchmaker 14 Rosoman St Clerkenwell / John Hardy watch case gilder 3 Falcon Pl, Ray St, Clerkenwell

21.07.1796 S Harmer sups (in Norwich, at James Alderson's?)

Samuel Harmer attorney (see Jewson, Jacobin City p135). He was apprenticed 1742 to John Cooper attorney of Norwich, was listed in Bailey's 1784 as attorney of Cockey Lane, Norwich, died 31.12.1808 aged nearly 80, newspaper obituary said he was for many years the speaker of Common Council

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1780 and in 1794 version

Thomas Harmer DNB 1714-1788 mentioned in W St Clair, The Godwins and the Shelleys, as one of the ministers Godwin came into conflict with at Stowmarket

Fillingham (& L Harrington) 20.1.1804 at theatre / 27.11.1804 la Harrington at Wake's / 27.1.1805 again / 18.3.1805 again / 16.5.1805 sir Edward Harrington at Wake's

Because the three la(dy) Harringtons at Wake's were followed by Sir Edward at Wake's I assume she was his wife and so the L(ord) Harrington at the theatre was probably Charles Stanhope DNB 1753-1829 3rd Earl of Harrington, army general and courtier (gold stick in waiting). Sir Edward Harrington (also spelt Harington) was the Mayor of Bath (where Wake had lived) knighted in 1795, "son of the physician" (Edward…

7.4.1795 mes Harris at Foulkes' / 23.5.1797 Harris at Carlisle's / 19.12.1797 Harris (& Aldis) call / 23.2.1798 Harris (& Carlisle) call / 2.9.1798 Harris at Tooke's / 24.12.1799 call on Harris . In Godwin's 1796 list for 1799 / 30.1.1800 Harris adv at Sarah Elwes' (& Mrs Holcombe)

These are the Harris entries up to 1800 which the GD website has not coded to Thomas Harris, manager of Covent Garden theatre. Some of them may have been him but perhaps not as when he was dealing with Thomas Harris, Godwin was sending, writing, hearing from him through James Marshall, or…

13.6.1809 Harris of Aylesbury calls

Probably John Harris, son of John Turner Harris (will PCC 1798). studied Homerton Academy, dissenting minister at Aylesbury 1777-1815, married 28.11.1777 at Holborn, Mary dau of Dr James Watson 1713-1783, died 1.12.1829 in London age 75 (will PCC 1830)

Harry 15.3.1797 at Robert Knight's

Although Harry can be a surname ( 1790 H Harry bookseller and dealer in curiosities 379 Strand / 1784 Dr John Harry Bodmin Cornwall) in this case it may refer to Robert Knight's younger brother Henry Raleigh Knight his will PCC 1836 Lt Genl of Portman St Portman Sq. He married at St Geo Han Sq 1.12.1808 Juliana Botti who d 1859 age 79 their son Charles Raleigh Knight married in 1856, their eldest dau Juliana born 1811 married 1840 died at Rome 1854, their youngest dau Caroline Emily married in 1850.

21.5.1795 Harts at Batty's (with Tooke, A Alderson Smirke & miss Buck) / 14.9.1796 Hart at Foulkes' (with Holcrofts& Mes Kettle & Lloyd) / 3.8.1803 Harts at Joyce's (with H Tooke, miss Cline) / 13.7.1804 Harts at Joyce's (with H Tooke) / 20.7.1804 H Tooke at Godwin's (invites Harts Smirke & miss Cline)

Clearly Horne Tooke's daughters Mary & Charlotte Hart, though possibly their mother was sometimes included in Harts plural. The entry at Foulkes' in 1796 was the only singular one and the only one where Tooke wasn't there and the fact that Hart was not included…

Hartley 13.7.1800 at Grattan's / 14.7.1800 again / 18.7.1800 at Drennan's

Perhaps James son of Travers Hartley Dict Irish Biog 1723-1786 Dublin merchant. / Dublin Trades 1797 James Hartley merchant, William Hartley haberdasher & silk merchant / Henry Hartley barrister = Apr 1798 Lady Louisa Lumley dau of Earl of Scarborough (Irish marriages).
