This may have been Christopher Berry the elder, bookseller of Norwich trading from 1789 until his bankruptcy in 1809 or John Berry and Christopher Berry the younger, sons of John Berry, trading from 1809, partnership dissolved 1810, Christopher jr went bankrupt in 1811, continued as printer and bookbinder from 1813. One Christopher died 1828, the other in 1831

Godwin was writing to many booksellers throughout England in 1810, so Dunn may have been a bookseller. There was Jonathan Dunn of Nottingham publisher of the Mercury newspaper, trading 1793 to 1834; Brownrigg Nicholson Dunn of Whitehaven trading 1797 to 1812; and Charles Dunn jr of Birmingham trading 1807 to 1835.
