Arabins 28.1.1798 at (Horne) Tooke's (Arabin in Godwin's 1796 list) / 15.2.1800 Arabin jr at opera

Likely to have been William John Arabin (will PCC 1829 general) and his son William St Julien Arabin (will PCC 1842 serjeant of law). William John Arabin married in Dublin (Morning Chronicle 1.2.1777 "a few days ago") Henrietta dau of Sir Capel Molyneux, bart. Their dau Mary Elizabeth was baptised 1.7.1777 at St Martin in the Fields (her will PCC 1847 of West Drayton) His mother Jane Mary Arabin widow will PCC 1780. Arabin was divorced in 1789 after his wife's trial for adultery which…

Arch 3.7.1800 at Colles's (in Ireland) / 17.12.1801 Arch's at Lamb's / 20.5.1805 Arch at Lamb's / 26.9.1809 call on Arch / 16.11.1809 again / 17.6.1812 again / 18.6.1812 again

The only examples of the name Arch I found in Ireland were John Arch born 1748 Dublin and Nicholas Arch married 1773 Dublin. As with Tobin, Hume, Higgins, Ridgway and Johnson I reckon the GD website coding of those names in Ireland to Godwin's friends of those names in England is unconvincing, but If Colles was the bookseller Isaac Colles (which is just one possibility, see Colles) then perhaps the Arch in…

27.7.1789 Archer at Robinson's / 2.7.1802 call with Philips on Archer/ 19.2.1812 write to Archer & Moore, Dublin.

1789 entry perhaps and 1812 entry probably John Archer Dublin bookseller (Dublin Book Trades) as many of Robinson's guests were Dublin publishers (White, Jenkins, Potts). The 1802 entry was probably Jasper Archer (see Miller for why). A Jasper Archer of St Ann Aldersgate haberdasher married Ann Howard there 20.3.1768. A Jasper Archer son of William of Carpenters Company was apprenticed 7.8.1759 to Thomas Hassell of Skinner's Company, he was baptised 5.5.1745 at…

I looked at a number of Aris families including the printers of Birmingham, and I researched in detail the family of Thomas Aris, governor of Cold Bath Fields prison, something of a hate figure for radicals in the late 1790s and 1800s, who…

Probably Thomas Jeremiah Armiger 1781-1844 surgeon, directory 1805 Lothbury, directory 1811 Woolwich (where Bonnycastle was Professor of Mathematics at the Royal Military Academy). In 1811 he became surgeon and accoucheur to the Eatern Dispensary, London and surgeon to the Duke of Kent. In 1827 he became a surgeon to the London Hospital

May have been John Armstrong DNB 1771-97 who was listed by Anthony Pasquin as the theatre critic of the Morning Chronicle who would therefore have been in context at Perry's and the theatre, and probably wrote political reports as well, hence Debrett's and the House of Commons.
