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.
30.11.1793 Hewardine at Wrights and 11.7.1794 at Mrs Jennings and 2.5.1797 at King's, with Swainson. In Godwin's 1796 list (crossed out) for 1793 and in 1794 version.
William Hewardine 1763-99 songwriter (Highfill, Burnim & Langhans). His song satirising patriots in Public Advertiser 24.5.1792. He often sang at Anacreontic Society with Dignum who was at Wrights with him in 1793. He was often anti-radical and sang at Hood's election dinners but according to Pryse Lockhart Gordon's Personal Memoirs (vol 1 p249, 262 vol 2 p 372-4) he did this only for money and was a 'double-tailed…
Holmes 26.3.1800 at King's / 18.7.1800 Holmes at Drennan's (in Ireland). In Godwin's 1796 list for 1800 / 8.7.1803 vote for Holmes,postman / 5.1.1817 Holmes at Stewart's (with Pinfold) / 2.3.1817 again / 1.6.1817 again / 1.6.1824 Holmes at Lamb's / 4.9.1824 again / 2.12.1827 Holmes at Kenney's / 24.8.1834 Holmes at Caunter's
The Holmes in Ireland in 1800 whom Godwin included in his 1796 list was probably Robert Holmes DNB 1765-1859. Less likely would have been Peter Holmes Esq of Merrion St Dublin (Hist Irish Parl 1731-1802) pro-Union MP though subscr to D R O'Conor 1798 pro-…
Hompesch 17.11.1799 at John King's. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1799
Probably Charles Theodore Joseph Anton Baron Hompesch (will PCC 1812 formerly of Bollheim Westphalia but late of Rosenau, Datchet, Bucks, Lt General in British Service) of the Hungarian nobility. Served in Trinidad and St Domingo 1797 where his regiment of hussars was reduced by fever from 1100 to 300 men. His 2nd batallion sailed from Cowes to Cork 13.4.1798.

Housselaer 26.4.1795 at King's, 21.9.1795 there, 19.10.1795 adv at theatre, 9.11.1795 at King's, 3.12.1795 there
This was quite likely Godwin's mis-spelling of Haussoullier (sometimes spelt Haussoulier). See work notes below for similar names from the Low Countries, perhaps this was a French variant. At any rate Haussoulier was a very interesting character and a likely guest at John King's table. Notes & Queries Jan to June 1863 p 91 gave no sources but the facts check out well with records, saying he was a French Jew and fortune-hunter who married the wrong lady by mistake. The…
