Newcome

Newcome 29.6.1800 on Holyhead coach (from Barnet) / 2.11.1813 call on Newcome

William Newcome DNB 1729-1800 archbishop of Armagh died 11.1.1800, his will PCC proved 6.6.1800 by his widow Anna Maria (nee Smyth her will PCC 1828 Clifton, Glos) in London. Perhaps Godwin was referring to her but though he seems to have often used plain surnames for actresses and authoresses I don't think he would have used one for an archbishop's widow on a first meeting on a coach
