Brown, Lady

la. Brown 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's

Lady Charlotte Brown, eldest dau of Earl of Kenmare = May 1802 George Goold, Old Court, Cork / Margaret (nee Lorinan) = c1792 John Edmond Browne 1748-1835 created Baronet 1797, she died 1843 will PCC 1844 of Holles St Dublin / Marion nee Henderson = 1798 Sir James Brown Brown. These three seem the only possibles from Burke's Peerage & lists of knights, the last was Scottish so less likely as this was probably a mainly Irish gathering


Burgh, Richard

Burgh 12.3.1795 at Gerald's.

Rev Richard Burgh of Dublin aged 30 was convicted in 1793 along with Townley Macan and others of a conspiracy to blow up the King's Bench prison. He doesn't seem to have been in Newgate in 1795 but may have been an inmate of the Giltspur St Compter with Gerald

5'5" hazel eyes black hair sallow complexion


Burke, Dr

dr Burke 3.7.1800 (at Curran's) / 12.7.1800 again / 27.7.1800 again / 2.8.1800 again

Burke, Edmund

f 46r of Vol VII of Godwin's diary after 24.9.1796 and before the "1796 list": Burke inherits £300 per annum, obtained by his elder brother in the character of a discoverer. C

Edmund Burke DNB 1730-1797 according to which he inherited in 1765 from his brother Garrett a small estate in Clogher co. Cork. Not sure what is meant by discoverer or who C was, presumably the source of the story, maybe Calonne, Canning, Carlisle, Coleridge or Cooper


Burne

Burne's, Carlow 4.8.1800 tea / 8.8.1800 dine at Burne's (not in Carlow?) / 2.10.1800 (in London) meet Burne / 8.10.1800 meet Burne, Dogherty & Goold / 27.9.1804 Burne at H Rowan's / 20.9.1805 Burne & Curran dine / 9.10.1805 call on Curran (not in), Burne (not in)

Since Godwin began the day of 8.8.1800 seeing St Cavan's Bed at Glendalough nr Wicklow and then returned to the Dublin area it seems unlikely that he went back to Carlow to dine (and this is confirmed by his letter Bodleian Abinger c6 f36v) so the Burne's of 8.8.1800 was probably a different venue from that of 4.8.…
