call on Dr Parson 27.3.1797

There was a medical doctor, Dr John Parson of St James Clerkenwell, perhaps alive in 1797, mentioned in his son's entry in Alum Ox, but this is more likely the son Samuel of Doctors Commons, who got his doctorate of Law in 1792, his will PCC 1819. Two days before Godwin and Mary Wolstonecraft were married, this visit was probably connected with obtaining the marriage licence
