Godwin Diary

Scribe, Achille

Submitted by edpope on

25.3.1792 Dy(ck) & Scribe at Holcroft's and Scribe 8.2.1795 at Perry's.

Was in fact Dyde and Scribe, haberdashers and furriers, warehousemen at 89 Pall Mall. National Archives TS11/824 and KB33/7/3/(ii) deal with the case of Robert Dyde and Achille Scribe for attempting to export goods to France. A newspaper report of 25.5.1819 said "died lately at Montreal, respectably established, Mr Robert Dyde late of Pall Mall"

Hatchett, Charles

Submitted by edpope on

21.3.1792 Hatchet at Holcroft's.

This is likely to have been Charles Hatchett 1765-1847 chemist and mineralogist who married Elizabeth daughter of John Collick a Westminster magistrate. Godwin met Collick at Shield's 27.11.1794, and Collick mentioned Shield, Crosdill and Clementi in his will (PCC 1807) and is mentioned as well as Crosdill in the will (PCC 1794) of Henry Waller (see 6.7.1792). Another possibility is that it was Horatio McGeorge, an eccentric actor known as Hatchet after one of his roles (Highfill, Burnim and Langhans)
