H S

8.10.1806 call on Curran (talk of H S) / 25.10.1807 Curran calls, talk of C M

John Philpot Curran (DNB 1750-1817) seems to have had a number of mistresses in his life, see my entries for Hughes, Maria, for Dixon (mrs Dixon) and for W Place (mrs Fitzgerald). Godwin sometimes used initials for convenience, but particularly for children, and also for women, perhaps especially when mentioning their name was a socially delicate matter. They could also have been abbreviations for some politically sensitive subject. For possible identity of C M, see Mercier, Charlotte. Godwin later…

There were a series of reciprocal dinners with the Holcrofts, the Raphael Smiths, the Nicholsons,. . Foulkes, Wolcot and Godwin (see Smith, John Raphael). Miss Haines was noted on two of those occasions. See work notes below


Halcomb, John

HCR diary 9.5.1838 called on Aders "He tells me that Halcomb the Dover candidate has taken up the cause of Mrs Leigh"

                   8.7.1838 "I hear from the Aders that Mrs Ley has returned to her old house where she means to open a school -she has a friend in Halcomb the barrister!!!"

John Halcomb (DNB 1792-1852). Ellen Ley (1804-1867) was the daughter of Mrs Aders and the widow of Hugh Ley (DNB 1790-1837). Halcomb's interest probably didn't last very long and she was soon in trouble again (HCR diary 7.1.1840). See my background article 3 Wives 3 Husbands Living


Haldane

HCR diary 25.11.1842 at Basil Montagu's - Haldane's father was stopped from preaching in Aberdeen over forty years ago

Halker. Mrs

mrs Halker 27.3.1798 adv at Chandler's with miss Valpy

Though easily confused with the commoner name Hasker in newsprint fonts of the time, and with Walker in handwriting, Godwin seems to have written Halker, and the name did exist. She may have been governess or chaperone to miss Valpy.

Hamilton

18.11.1809 call on Hamilton

Coded on GD website to Samuel Hamilton printer. After the fire at his works in 1803 he seems to have moved to Shoe-lane in 1805 but by 1809 he had probably moved to Weybridge, and this call is in a string of calls on booksellers, so was probably Thomas Hamilton bookseller 37 Paternoster-row or less likely Alexander Hamilton bookseller 14 & 15 Temple-pl Blackfriars-rd
