Jobson 16.3.1800 at John King's

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46v the first name in the 1796 list, Jocelyn. In the 1794 version Sir C Jocelyn

Conyers Jocelyn, of Hyde Hall Sawbridgeworth, baronet and Doctor of Medicine, died unmarried 1778 when the baronetcy went to his cousin and merged into the Earldom of Roden, see Burke's Peerage which wrongly gives his date of death as 1771. William Godwin's younger brother was christened Conyers Jocelyn Godwin on 8.1.1761. Godwin seems to have stayed at Hyde Hall on his way to London in 1773

Johns 17.1.1795 at Powel's

Johnson Cowper 21.4.1801 at Joseph Johnson's

John Johnson DNB 1769-1833

Johnson 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow

GD website has coded this to Joseph Johnson DNB 1738-1809 which seems extremely unlikely to me

adv Johnson 23.1.1795 at John King's / Johnson clerk of arr 30.1.1795 there / adv Johnson 19.2.1795 there

The three entries above have been wrongly coded in GD website to Joseph Johnson. See my entry for Johnson, Richard

Dr Johnson calls 6.1.1802

Probably Dr Robert Wallace Johnson born about 1755 died 12.1.1810 and buried 21.1.1810 at Brentford Albany Congregational Church, his will PCC 1810 mentioned dau Elizabeth Wallace Gould widow. His "New System of Midwifery" went through several editions (1769, 1777, 1786) and Joseph Johnson was named as seller on title page. Mary Jane Godwin was pregnant at the time of this call

Edw Johnson of Mile End calls 7.9.1802. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802

F Johnson 15.1.1801 at Kedden's (& Sarah Elwes) / C Johnsons 25.2.1801 at Sarah Elwes' / 23.6.1812 letter to F Johnson / 1.7.1812 write to F Johnson

Johnson senr 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Joseph Johnson's father was long dead so this was probably his older brother John, who according to A Liberal Publisher was a brewer of Everton who died in 1800. Directories also showed his address as Dale St Liverpool. No PCC will (John Johnson of Warrington PCC 1802 was not him) but probably PCYork will which I access less often

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION Joseph Johnson of St Paul's Church Yard proposed member by John Horne Tooke 18.5.1792 2nded Williams

Joseph Johnson (DNB 1738-1809)

GODWIN DIARY has a person record in GD website but many entries wrongly linked to it, see my entry for Johnson, Richard for full discussion

J J  5.12.1797 at Joseph Johnson's / 29.11.1798 J J at Joseph Johnson's in Kings Bench Prison / 8.4.1801 call on Johnson. At Jn's adv Hewlett

Likely to have been Joseph Johnson nephew of Joseph Johnson DNB 1738-1809 who has a person record in GD website but these entries left uncoded. He is identified in GD website (as JJ) in four entries in 1810. The 1801 entry Jn's was Godwin referring back to the call he made on Johnson earlier that day

11.6.1806 dine at Johnson's w. mrs Johnson / 2.7.1823 call on mrs Johnson, Eastcheap

Could have been the wife of Joseph Johnson's nephew Joseph. He married Alice Sutton at West Kirby, Cheshire in 1797 and their children's births were recorded at Bryom Street Baptist church, Liverpool. If not her then probably not a relative of Joseph Johnson's
