Godwin Diary

Opie, John

Submitted by edpope on

21.11.1795 O at King's / 17,5.1800 dine at Milton Gallery with Opie; sup at Hoare's with O

John Opie DNB1761-1807 must surely have been the O at Hoare's in 1800 but GD website has it underlined. By the same token the Reynolds who supped at Hoare's was probably Samuel William the engraver rather than Frederick as the GD website has coded it. Read the whole entry for that day if you don't follow me. The O at King's 21.11.1795 was possibly also Opie who was there on 3.12.1795

Beechey

Submitted by edpope on

(Beechey) 17.5.1800 at Milton Gallery

Presumably referred to William Beechey DNB 1753-1839, but unidentified in GD website. The brackets perhaps implied the person was only talked about or seen at a distance

Submitted by edpope on

sharer 11.3.1800 adv at theatre / 6.5.1800 again / 2.2.1801 Renter adv at theatre

Possibly these entries referred to the arrangements Godwin had with the Drury Lane theatre for free tickets, all three entries above were at that theatre, but the Renter entry with a capital R may have referred to a surname, though it was a rare one. Samuel Renter bur 20.12.1827 Westminster (noncomformist) / George Frederick Renter = 1813 St Clement Danes Hannah Moore / Thomas son of John & Susanna Renter bapt 1791 Holborn St Sepulchre
