1.9.1810 mrs Lloyd calls

While this could have been Sophia wife of Charles Lloyd DNB 1775-1839 that seems unlikely as Godwin doesn't seem to have met Lloyd until 1819 and the Lloyds were living in the Lake District with many children in 1810. Mrs Lloyd may have been of the medical profession in the light of the sequence of events in Godwin's diary from 30.8.1810. First Charles Aldis surgeon called, who hadn't appeared in the diary since shortly after the death of Mary Wollstonecraft, but he had since then written a book justifying her; and the same day Godwin, his wife and 5…

GODWIN DIARY: 15.2.1811

Maria Anne Lobrot was the daughter of Frederic Lobrot a merchant of Birmingham who died in 1807. (will Nat Arch PROB11/1379). She was born about 1782 (Morning Post 8.6.1836). All the Lobrot entries in Godwin's diary belong to her, as does Lebrau on 15.2.11 when she first called with Margaret Jones. A Marianne Lobrot died in 1859 at Reading.

Father and son were involved in the art collecting world and daughter Amelia married John, son of John Julius Angerstein DNB 1732-1823.

Logan 17.12.1793 at Woolwich (visiting Muir & Reid in prison hulks)

In Godwin's 1796 list (At top right of diary Vol VII f 45v and at top of f 47r see my entry for 1796 list)

John Logan DNB 1747-88 came to London October 1785. I think he worked with Godwin on Political Herald but need to check my source for this. According to the DNB he worked with Gilbert Stuart on the English Review which Stuart  edited as also the Political Herald

GODWIN DIARY see his person record in GD website. Godwin first met him in 1807 presumably in his professional capacity as an attorney.. HCR diary 25.4.1818 "Longdale has an almost Jewish face - is a confident talker, high in his politics & manners - and yet a friend of Shelley"

call on Lord Mayor 1.6.1805 / 20.6.1805 again / 10.7.1817 again

In Godwin's letter to James Wollstonecraft of 5.9.1805 (Bodleian Abinger c9 f34v) he wrote "Ball I have got rid of by the intervention of the Lord Mayor". Ball (qv) was a tenant of Primrose Street and Godwin saw him on 23.1.1805 and 1,2,1805, both before James Wollstonecraft last saw Godwin before leaving for the West Indies. The Lord Mayor of London in 1804/5 was Peter Perchard, it's not clear if Godwin would have spoken to him personally. The Lord Mayor in 1816/7 was Matthew Wood.

Loveridge 22.9.1799 at Fell's with Oldfield

Loveridge was a friend of Thomas Hinton Burley Oldfield DNB 1755-1821 (see Sheffield Archives WWM/F/82/10 Jane Osbaldeston to Lord Fitzwilliam). Mrs Jane Osbaldeston, the mother of the sporting squire George Osbaldeston DNB 1786-1866, had ambitions for him as an MP and came into conflict with Oldfield who was acting as an election agent for Fitzwilliam at East Retford in 1812. Loveridge met her on Oldfield's behalf and Mrs Osbaldeston wrote that he was an attorney who had been struck off the list, who was notorious in the Alchester…
