31.10.1807 T(homas) T(urner), from T R D L, sups, seeking Sheridan
In GD website T R D L is underlined as unidentified here, but it clearly meant Theatre Royal Drury Lane as on 21.12.1807 and on 15.9.1818 where GD website correctly explains it in a note

7.9.1809 seek Zoust, at Tain's &c, w. M(ary) J(ane)
This must surely have meant J Thane, printseller 18 New Lisle-st Leicester-sq (Holdens trades directory 1811). They were seeking a print of Shakespeare's head by Gerard de Soest (or Zoust)
Fell, S Elwes & Talbot call (not in) 11.6.1800
The only Talbot in Godwin's diary and Godwin didn't even see him, but I could still hazard a guess on Montague Talbot DNB 1774-1831 actor. His last appearance at Drury Lane theatre was a week later on 18.6.1800 and he then removed to Ireland and married an Irish actress that autumn. Consider also Thomas Talbot DNB 1771-1853 but there were plenty of other Talbots who this could have been
Tanner 30.11.1793 at Wrights
Samuel Tanner cordwainer Litchfield St Soho voted Fox 1790 wife Frances (Old Bailey witness 1787)
John Tanner steward Friends of Parliamentary Reform 18.5.1797
call on Tassaert 2.7.1802 with Philips. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 as Tassaret.
Philippe Joseph Tassart 1732-1803 history painter and president of Society of Artists. See Farington's diary (e.g. vol III p795), for his reputation as an art expert which may relate to the purpose of Godwin & Phillips' call (see Miller). On GD website he has a person record and his 1796 list entry is coded to it but not the 1802 entry although the editorial notes refer to it
5.4.1810 call on Tate / 12.4.1810 C(harles) C(lairmont) on Tate / 20.5.1811 call, w. C(harles), on Tate &c / 1.6.1811 call on Tate (not seen), w.

Clearly some relationship to Charles Clairmont, maybe a trial apprenticeship or some tutoring?

Taylor's 10.9.1805 Finborgh (near Stowmarket)
Mr Taylor of Ringshall nr Stowmarket d1815 age 78, Thomas Taylor buried Stowupland 30.9.1815 age 77. Pleasance wife of Mr W Mumford of Hintlesham Priory died 12.11.1831 age 28, only dau of Mr E Taylor of Ringshall. Finborough is 2 miles west of Stowmarket, Stowupland 1 mile east of it and Ringshall 3 miles south of it, Hintlesham Priory a few miles south of Ringshall. See my entry for Mumford, Mrs. On GD website this entry is coded to John Taylor DNB 1750-1826 which is probably wrong
call on Cha. Taylor 12.7.1804
Perhaps Charles Taylor DNB 1756-1823. According to the DNB he was a deeply conservative man but in 1801 the London Library was moved to his premises at 108 Hatton Garden where it remained for several years, which may have been relevant to the purpose of Godwin's call
call on R Taylor; adv pere 21.5.1803 / 11.5.1804 call on R Taylor adv mere & soeur / 2.8.1805 call on R Taylor; adv Arthur / 16.7.1806 call on R Taylor adv pere mere & A / 19.8.1807 call on R Taylor (adv frere aine) / 8.3.1809 call on R Taylor; adv. Edwd / 16.6.1817 call on R Taylor adv pere
In the 1807 entry above GD website has mistranscribed frere as pere, the two are not that different in Godwin's handwriting. So that entry must have been John Taylor DNB 1779-1863, Richard Taylor's only older brother. The entries in 1803 and 1817 have not been coded, as other similar…
28.11.1794 Taylor Lanc at Gerald's / Taylor 29.11.1794 at Crompton's / 14.12.1796 Taylor Lancastrian at House of Commons
Joseph Farington's Diary vol 4 p1303 (16.11.1799) listed the applicants to be secretary to a Society in the Adelphi; Valentine Green, Walker philosopher, and a Mr Tayler of Lancaster. Unitarian Society list 1792 had a Philip Taylor of Stand, nr Manchester
25.5.1798 Taylor Northn calls / 2.6.1798 Taylor Northn calls, talk of self and atheism
George Taylor (1772-1851) father of Henry Taylor (DNB 1800-1886). See Una Taylor, Guests and Memories (1924) p 21 on and the Autobiography of Henry Taylor, The anecdote in Una Taylor's book of Horne Tooke kissing Godwin's hand at Mrs Opie's while George Taylor was present was probably a conflation of stories. Taylor was only in London for a couple of weeks and he apparently met Holcroft and the newly married Mrs Opie. Tooke and Mrs Opie never appeared together in Godwin's diary (except in the…
8.7.1796 call on J Taylor, adv Philip, Morris & mrs W Barnard / 21.7.1796 dine at J Taylor's, with Philip, Samuel, Thomas & T Barnard
Although Philip Taylor DNB 1786-1870 civil engineer was ten years old, these names don't fit his brothers John, Richard, Edward and Arthur, but they do fit the brothers of John Taylor DNB 1750-1826, Philip b1747, Meadows b1755, Samuel b1757 and Thomas b1758, particularly if Meadows by nickname or Godwin's mistake was noted as Morris.
Meadows Taylor married Elizabeth Dyson at Ganton Suffolk in 1793, their son Meadows baptised at Palgrave…
14.1.1807 Sa T sleeps
Should be added on GD website to the person record of Sarah Austin (nee Taylor) (DNB 1793-1867). The entry on the same day of Sarah Taylor dines has been coded to her person record so this is not problematic
26.1.1794 'Opera Taylor' at Perry's. William Taylor c1753-1825 (Highfill, Burnim & Langhans) was the proprietor of the opera house King's Theatre. See R B O'Reilly An Authentic Narrative...(1791); Price Milhous & Hume, Italian opera ...vol 1(1995); DNB John Gallini 1728-1805
call on Teague 28.2.1805
This was probably John Teague who succeeded his father John as keeper of Poultry St compter 27.4.1803 and was transferred to the Giltspur St compter (Morning Chronicle 22.9.1804) where he died 17.7.1841 his will PCC 1841. On 23.1.1805 Godwin had visited his former tenant Edward Ball (see Ball) at the Giltspur St compter and was perhaps having twinges of conscience for evicting him, anyway Teague wasn't in and never appeared in the diary again
