all the above entries were when Godwin was visiting his family at Wood Dalling in Norfolk and most have been wrongly coded in GD website to Robert Woodhouse, father or son.

The above entries have all been coded to William Wordsworth on the GD website. The poet was clearly down in Somerset at this time (see Reed, Wordsworth Chronology 1770-1799) and two of the above entries add "atty" i.e. attorney, which was the profession of the poet's brother Richard. There are also two later entries that are coded to William Wordsworth…
15.7.1795 Dyson & W call. Since Godwin called on Wordsworth the previous day, this W seems very likely to have been Wordsworth
7.6.1796 sup with W at Montagu's. Since Wordsworth had already been named in full that day, this was certainly him

I suspect five different Wrights in the above entries. For 1796 at King's I have no suggestions. For the two entries two days apart in 1807 I considered Henry Wright attorney of Paper-bldgs Temple partner to Thomas Nelson Pickering, because a Pickering also appeared in the list of calls on 3.12.1807, 4.12.1807 and 5.12.1807. However on 4.12.1807 they both appeared but separated by…

Perhaps Thomas Wright 1760?-1812 Dict Irish Biog a surgeon who was part of the United Irishmen but after his arrest informed on them and later served as Temporary Physician to the British forces in the fever stricken Walcheren expedition of 1809. His book The History of the Walcheren Remittent was published in 1811 (Morning Post 26.6.1811) and he died of yellow fever in October 1812 in Spain. He was a licentiate of the Irish College of Physicians, the only Dr Wright in the Royal College in 1811 was Warner Wright of Norwich
