The Holmes in Ireland in 1800 whom Godwin included in his 1796 list was probably Robert Holmes DNB 1765-1859. Less likely would have been Peter Holmes Esq of Merrion St Dublin (Hist Irish Parl 1731-1802) pro-Union MP though subscr to D R O'Conor 1798 pro-…

Hume 3.8.1800 at (Castle) Brown's

GD website has coded this to Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844 but there's no reason to think he was in Ireland in 1800. Perhaps Gustavus Hume Dict Irish Biog 1732-1812 surgeon or his sons Thomas MD 1769-1850, Arthur, Gustavus & Travers. Sub 1798 to D R O'Conor Travers Hume DD Glebe Hill, Ardee, co. Louth. Rev Travers Hume = Oct 1787 Miss Balaguirere in Merrion Sq Dublin / Dublin Trades 1797 Arthur Hume agent Dublin Castle

Hutchins dines 24.9.1804 & Curran & Hazlitt / 28.9.1804 Hutchins calls & Curran & Hazlitt / 8.12.1804 Hutchins adv at theatre / 16.12.1804 Hutchins calls / 19.5.1805 meet Hutchins / 16.6.1805 dines / 17.6.1805 meet / 4.10.1805 adv at Pope's (& mrs Waring) calls (& Curran) / 2.1.1807 calls (& Curran) / 15.1.1807 adv at Curran's / 2.10.1807 call on Hutchins with Curran / 26.1.1808 write to / 30.1.1808 letter from / 3.3.1808 meet, talk of / 22.4.1808 adv at  Curran's / 26.4.1808 meet / 20.9.1808 at O"Hara's (& Curran) / 20.10.1809 at Curran's / 19.4.1810 adv at…

Johnson 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow

GD website has coded this to Joseph Johnson DNB 1738-1809 which seems extremely unlikely to me

call on Ponsonby, Joinville 3.8.1800

I've found no references to this as a surname in Ireland or England but it was an aristocratic and historic name in France. It may have been the name of Ponsonby's residence near Dublin, as Godwin was on his journey to Carlow via Castle Browne

miss Kaine 8.8.1800 at Burne's (in Ireland)

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

Kelly 8.6.1800 at John King's / 5.8.1800 (in Ireland at Wallace's trial) hear Barrington: int. Kelly. M Kelly in Godwin's 1796 list for 1800 / 9.12.1801 theatre adv mrs Inchbald (mrs Martyr, Hooke & Kelly) / 21.1.1803 mrs Kelly at Nicholson's & 3 Smiths / 20.1.1805 E Kelly at Nicholson's & 3 Smiths / 25.7.1835 RR & Kelly call

The first entry above at King's might be Michael Kelly DNB 1762-1826 singer and composer, but there's no particular reason to think so. I would suggest John Francis Kelly an army officer noted in the Reminiscences of Rees Howell Gronow DNB 1794-…

3.9.1795 at John King's / 23.9.1795 there / 26.4.1798 there

See Trial of Robert Kindillon, natural son of the Earl of Belvidere, for a rape on the body of Miss Elizabeth Egan, Dublin 14.12.1789. She was catholic, he protestant, Sheridan prosecuted, Curran defended. Kendillon was acquitted.

Major Robert Kendillon of 53 Norton St buried St Marylebone 22.4.1830 age 76. His will PCC 1830 Robert Kindillon

Kilkenny 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's

Perhaps Edmund Butler 1771-1846 who married 1793 Mildred dau of Robert Fowler (DNB 1724-1801 archbishop of Dublin) and was created Earl of Kilkenny 1793, but he was said to have been insane by 1799. Mary Kilkenny widow of St Pancras will PCC 1843

Kirwan 23.7.1800 dines. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1800 / 26.7.1800 call on with Curran, adv two priests / 27.7.1800 at Curran's (talk of Eloise and Hume) / 1.8.1800 call on

Probably Walter Blake Kirwan DNB 1754-1805 friend of Grattan & Drennan, former Catholic, Curch of Ireland preacher. Consider also Richard Kirwan DNB 1733-1812 scientist / Owen Kirwan c1770-1803 radical / Thomas Kirwan Dict Irish Biog 1772-1852 & his father (died 1807?) Catholic merchants / Edward Kirwan Hist Irish Parl 1747-1807 son of Alexander Kirwan attorney of Dalgan, co. Mayo / John Kirwan barrister…

Kyan 16.8.1800 on post coach Chirk to Shrewsbury

Perhaps John Howard Kyan DNB 1774-1850, his father John Howard Kyan of Mount Howard, Ballymutagh, co. Wicklow who died 1804, or Esmonde Kyan DNB 1750-1798. Not everyone Godwin met accidentally got into the DNB but a remarkable number did and Kyan is not a very common name even in Ireland

la Chausee 19.1.1800 at Lanesborough's

Major La Chausee, le comte de la Chaussee "Memoire militaire sur Bantry" 26.4.1797 (Kent History Centre / photopol.com/articles/bm_corr.html). La Chaussee had to show Thomas Pelham 2nd Earl of Chichester how to load a mortar 13.8.1797. Not in British Army Lists. Probably Charles de la Chaussee, Seigneur de St Aubin (Dictionnaire de la Noblesse Francaise)

gen Lake 12.9.1800 on boat from Dublin

Gerard Lake DNB 1744-1808

Landaff 29.12.1799 at Lanesborough's

The GD website has coded this to Richard Watson the Bishop of Llandaff but I think more likely it was Francis Mathew, ist Earl of Llandaff (Dict irish Biography 1738-1806). His son Francis James (Viscount Matthew) had married 10.7.1797 Gertrude La Touche,acousin of Elizabeth LaTouche who had married 17.1.1781 Robert Herbert Butler, 3rd earl of Lanesborough and Lady Lanesborough's eldest son
