Higgins 25.7.1800 at Hamilton's

GD website has coded this entry to Godfrey Higgins DNB 1773-1833 but I couldn't see any Irish connection for this Yorkshire squire. Perhaps Francis Higgins DNB 1746-1802 owner of Freeman's Journal, Dublin & informer, or William Higgins DNB 1763?-1825 chemist, in Dublin from 1791. Subscrs 1798 to D E O'Conor Matthew H missionary Limavaddy co.

Thomas Holcroft's letters from Germany to Godwin of 24.10.1800 (Bodleian Abinger c6 f60-1) and 24.11.1800 (Abinger c6 f78-9) referred to a Mr Henry Hill who appears to have been the pretended author of a theatrical piece for which Holcroft was trying to negotiate payment from…

Hill's study 30.9.1801 / 1.10.1801 Fillingham's study

These entries surely referred to Thomas Hill DNB 1760-1840 and his friend William Fillingham, but the GD website has left Hill as inidentified, and coded Fillingham to te 1301, an unidentified text, although it has a person record for both of them. As they were both book collectors, study may have referred to rooms in their houses, but more probably to amateur sketches of Godwin, the sort of fun they might have enjoyed

Luntley (qv) was a surveyor at 62 Shoreditch, not far from Primrose Street where Godwin was managing property for the sisters of his first wife Mary Wollstonecraft. A James Hill and a Samuel Brooks (qv) both appeared in the ratebooks for Primrose St in 1803 and 1806, though as far as I can tell neither was a tenant of the…

GODWIN DIARY: Hudson 28.9.1793 (This entry is currently coded in the Godwin Diary website to John Corrie Hudson - although the editorial notes say it isn't) / Hodgson 16.7.1794 at Newgate / 30.3.1796 Hodgson calls / 28.4.1796 meet Hodgson

William Hodgson DNB 1745-1851 who was in Newgate on the state side in 1794 and 1795. When first tried and imprisoned for uttering seditious and inflammatory words he was recorded in newspapers and official records as Hudson and the criminal register gave his age as 30 in 1794 which contradicts by 19 years the birth date in DNB (which seems based…

Just possibly Septimus Hodson DNB 1768-1833. See also Hudson, printer in Bonney Diary dataset, and Hodgson, William for examples of how frequently these names were confused.
