Corkian

Corkian 1.7.1800 on Holyhead coach & wherry to Dublin

Maybe a person from Cork, or a rare surname probably a variant or an error for Corkran/Corcoran


Corry, Isaac

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1787, also in 1794 version / 5.9.1810 dine at Aldis's, w. Corry

Isaac Corry (Dictionary of Irish Biography 1753-1813) called to bar 1779, MP for Newry, took government office from 1787. He could have been the 1810 diner at Aldis's, he was no longer an MP after 1807 and according to History of Parliament online he died in reduced circumstances in 1813, but he was still listed in the court section of Holdens directory 1811 at Kensington-gore. Equally it could have been Thomas Charles Stewart Corry MP for co. Monaghan whose London address was 3 Gt Cumberland-…


Cree

W Cree 2.7.1800 at Curran's, Rathfarnham / 4.7.1800 Cree there / 5.7.1800 Crees there

Probably referred to the family of Curran's estranged wife Sarah, daughter of Dr Richard Creagh. They married in 1774 and separated in 1794. According to Leslie Hale's book John Philpot Curran p136 they never saw each other again but Curran retained the respect of his father-in-law. Lloyds Evening Post of 14.10.1795 reports on a court martial of Lt William Creagh of the Royal Cork Militia who had assaulted a fellow officer after receiving an insult against a female relative (possibly Curran's wife…


D'Alton

miss D'Alton 20.8.1792 at Brand Hollis.

There were three Irish generals named D'Alton in the Austrian service; this may well be Frances, daughter of late General Count D'Alton who married Sir Richard Steele in March 1793 and died Frances Mary Steele 17.7.1857 at Weymouth (newspapers). Mary D'Alton widow of Count Edward D'Alton died 12.8.1815 her will PCC 1815 mentions her eldest son Peter D'Alton, 2nd son Christopher Albert Thomas Francis D'Alton, daughter Ann Jackson, brother Charles McCarthy, late brother John McCarthy Esq of Springham Tipperary

Dargle & Scalp

13.7.1800 dine at la. Mountcashel's with C(urran) (Dargle & Scalp) / 14.7.1800 Dargle & Water-fall

Dargle is the river that flows to the sea at Bray south of Dublin, and Scalp the name of a hill near that river and the village of Enniskerry, or that is as much sense as I could get out of Google maps


Davis, (Ireland)

Davis, apud Leland, pp.18.  10.8.1800 / 11.8.1800 meet Davis

On 9.8.1800 Godwin had resumed his reading of Leland's History of Ireland after his journey to Carlow and reached p182 (presumably of Vol 3). I'm not clear what he meant by Davis apud Leland, must have a look at the Leland. Apud generally means "in" when applied to a book. Was it just coincidence that he met Davis the next day?


Delane

dine at Delane's 11.7.1800 / 17.7.1800 Delane at Curran's

Perhaps Solomon Delane DNB 1727-1812 landscape painter


Dobbs

Dobbs 9.9.1800 at Taggart's. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1800 / 28.9.1800 meet Dobbs

Quite likely Hugh Doherty Esq. (often spelt Dogherty) brother of John Doherty DNB 1783-1850 son of John Doherty attorney of Dublin. Cornet in 29th Light Dragoons eloped in 1802 with 15 year old Ann Holmes daughter of Thomas Hunter formerly Holmes, a wealthy East India…

Very likely John Egan (DNB 1754/5-1810)


Elwards

Elwards's 16.7.1800 at Reeves's / 22.7.1800 at Burton's

The name Elwards is rare but did exist. In handwriting of Godwin's era it was particularly hard to tell from Edwards as many people used a similar curl at the base of a capital E as they used to form a small d


Eustace

Eustace 5.8.1800 dines, Carlow / 9.2.1805 at Dickins'

Subscr 1798 to D R O'Conor Robert Eustace Esq, Castlemore Tullow co.Carlow, Edward Eustace Esq, Elm Grove, Tullow, co Carlow, Maj Gen Charles Eustace Stephens Green, Dublin / will PCC 1802 & 1814 Charles Eustace, Dublin / Hist Irish Parl Charles Eustace 1730-1801 pro-union, his son Henry c1770-1842 / Dublin Trades 1797 Allen Eustace linen draper, Anthony Eustace baker, Edward Eustace butcher, James Eustace carpet manufacturer, Nicholas Eustace linen draper, Richard Eustace carpet manufacturer, Rowland Eustace malt distiller…


exhibition

Exhibition 11.7.1800 (in Ireland)

The GD website event tag mentions an exhibition in London advertised in the Times of that day, without noticing that Godwin was in Dublin. If you have easier access to Dublin newspapers than I do you may be able to identify this exhibition


Fagan

Fagan 15.11.1804 at H Rowan's / 30.12.1805 again / 17.1.1806 again

Perhaps one of the Irish Catholic family of Fagan in Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland. Patrick Fagan who died 1770 had ten sons, the eldest Christopher Alexander 1733-1816 will PCC 1816 was said to be the father by Madame Roland of Hyacinthe Gabrielle (died 1816) who became the mistress about 1785 of Richard Wellesley DNB 1760-1842 and married him in 1794 by which time she had had five children by him. The second son was Stephen merchant of Cork died 1811 whose sons James died 1822 and Patrick died 1808. The third…
