Barret at (Joshua) Robinson's / 10.4.1829 Barret at (Joshua) Robinson's

The first entry above 1800 in Ireland was possibly John Barrett DNB 1753/4 -1821 classical scholar and eccentric. (John Barrett of the Theatre Royal, Crow St, Dublin  = June 1806 miss Devereux, Aungier St, Dublin. Edward Deane Barrett attorney of Dublin = May 1811 dau of…

7.8.1807 lock at S(kinner) S(treet); adv. T(homas) T(urner) & Barret, constable, 3 Hodgkinses

I haven't found any mention of a constable called Barrett or Barret around this time

Barrington 5.8.1800 at Wallace's trial, Carlow, & dines same day. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1800

Jonah Barrington DNB 1756/7-1834

mrs Barrow 6.7.1794.

Mr Edward Barrow of Norwich Socy for Const Inf "a considerable warehouseman" (Trials for Treason & Sedition 6.196) and a member of Rev Samuel Newton's Independent church, Old Meeting (Jewson p 29, 137). Yarn factor, Colegate St Norwich 1784; warehouseman with Isaac Barrow, St Stephen's Norwich 1784-9; cotton manufacturer St Michael Coslany, Norwich 1789.

20.5.1792

Barrow's mathematical lectures should be added to te0179 (5.7.92)

Barrow 16.7.1794 at Newgate.

I suggest this was the surgeon Richard Barrow who was probably visiting a fellow medic (see Hodgson, William) and was shortly afterwards confined in Newgate himself, along with Robert Watson, for libels to excite rebellion, based on an incident at Miller's cookshop, Smithfield on 23.8.94. The criminal register gives his age as 24 and describes him as an apothecary of Stratton Ground, Westminster, 5ft 7ins, grey eyes, dark brown hair, sallow complexion. An advert in the Telegraph of 19.9.95 says he "recently commenced parctice", and the Whitehall Evening…

31.10.1791 Dr Barrow.

William Barrow DNB 1754-1836 was the master of Soho Academy. On 1.11.1791 T (Thomas Cooper) goes to school and on 13.12.1791 speeches Soho school

7.4.1810 Barry calls (not seen) / 30.4.1810 Barry calls / 14.8.1833 call on Barry &c

Up until the death of James Barry DNB 1741-1806 the GD website has coded plain Barry entries to him, and col. Barry entries to Henry Barry DNB 1749/50-1822, who lived in Bath. Godwin wrote to Henry Barry in 1809. The first two entries above could have been to Henry, if he was on a visit to London.

19.1.1789 Barry

Should be Major Henry, not James. Boyles Court Guide 1792 gives his address as 14 James St Westminster and checking his neighbours with the ratebooks confirms this is James St near Buckingham Gate
31.8.1792 Barry 'veut acheter'. More likely the major than the painter if he had the money to buy whatever Godwin and/or Holcroft wanted to sell

HCR diary 27.6.1820 I just made a note - Flaxman against Barry (husband of mistress, Nollekens and lace hat). I don't recall the story but it was certainly John Flaxman (DNB 1755-1826) telling an anecdote of James Barry (DNB 1741-1806)

Barthelemis 14.1.1802 at Fenwick's (& Plumptres, Fells)

Surely Francois Hippolyte Barthelemon DNB 1741-1808. He lived at Vauxhall not far from the Fenwicks. In the context of other plural names the misspelling still suggests some of his family were present. His first wife died in 1799 and his daughter Cecilia DNB 1767-1859 had married Edward Prentis Henslow in 1797, though she may have still been known by her stage name to Godwin. Barthelemon married secondly on 4.4.1802 Sarah Ray of Kingsland, Hackney. By this time he was a Swedenborgian and his two children by her were…

Bartlam 26.11.1794 at Mackintosh's.

John Bartlam 1771-1823 see Samuel Parr DNB - Parr's pupil/assistant who later becme his companion and amanuensis. Son of Francis Bartlam of Alcester, matric. Merton College, Oxford 1789 age 18, BA 1793. Fellow of Merton and vicar of various parishes. Died 28.2.1823 at Lloyd's, bookseller of Harley St, of apoplectic fit. George Canning's letter journal mentions dining with Bartlam at Lord Boringdon's the previous week on 18.11.94

His widow Maria, (according to a newspaper report an Irishwoman married to him for 5 years) was a witness and said they lodged at 37 Poland St, 2nd floor. Witnesses included…

20.9.1795 M Moore & Barton call

the only Barton entry till 1818,possibly a friend of Matthew Moore, though they may have called quite separately

John Barton was delegate of Div 27 of the LCS in the first half of 1795 (Thale p262) and was on the executive committee in July & August 1795 (Thale p257-290). He may have been the J Barton to whom the Manchester reformers sent a letter at Red Lion, Grosvenor Sq (Thale p347n). John Barton of James St Grosvenor Sq insured Sun F 1782, John Barton kept the Cock, New St, Broad St, St James, served on coroners, juries 1793-9 and…

Mrs Barwell 27.10.1788 at Miss Williams' / 5.5.1789 again / 21.12.1789 again / 9.2.1790 again / 30.3.1795 at Barbauld's. see Clarke who she appeared with twice and both had opera boxes in 1796

This is perhaps the wife of Robert Barwell (DNB 1741-1804), who was Catherine nee Coffin (1769-1847) and so the young wife of a rich man. They married in 1785 and in 1786 newspapers reported her as sporting a phaeton and pair at Egham. Her married status is clear from the crossed out entry of 26.10.1788. She married 2ndly 1811 Edward Miller Mundy MP his will PCC 1823. But before her first …
