Godwin Diary

G sleeps 12.7.1800

Though there were two Gs (Grattan & Granard), as well as Godwin, among Curran's dinner guests, I reckon it was Grattan who stayed the night

Wallis 12.7.1800 at Curran's (in Ireland) / 26.5.1801 at Nicholson's / 21.7.1803 Wallis, Camden St calls / 22.7.1803 Camden St / 9.4.1811 call on Wallis / 14.7.1815 call on Wallis, Newgate Street / 21.7.1815 meet Wallis (N S)

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

Perhaps Solomon Delane DNB 1727-1812 landscape painter

call on EB & W Place 11.7.1800 / 25.7.1800 call, with C(urran), W Place / 26.7.1800 tea W Place / 1.8.1800 call on W Place

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

Scully 11.7.1800 at Moira's

Probably Denis Scully DNB 1773-1830 Catholic lawyer. Dublin Trades 1797 Michael Scully lottery office keeper / Timothy Scully turner. Subscrs to D R O'Conor 1798 William Scully, Dually, Cashel, Tipperary / William Scully, Ohillips Town, Kings Co.

9.7.1800 dine at la. Moira's / 11.7.1800 call on Moira / 24.7.1800 again / 1.8.1800 call on la. Moira / 9.8.1800 dine at la. Moira's / 13.4.1808 Countess of Moira dies / 28.11.1826 Hastings dies

The two calls on Moira in Dublin were between two dinners at La. Moira's. Otherwise Godwin only recorded their deaths, using the name Hastings for Lord Moira. It is possible that Moira in 1800 referred to Lady Moira and that Godwin never met Lord Moira. See Francis Hastings DNB 1754-1826 and Elizabeth Rawdon DNB 1731-1808.
