call on Goodyer, sexton, Chelsea 3.3.1804

See Joslyn for possible reason for Godwin's call. In Chelsea Land Tax 1804 there was a George Goodyer at Lawrence St (till 1818 then Thomas Goodyer till 1832) and a Richard Goodyer of Franklin Row (till 1826 then Eliz Goodyer at Blacklands Place and in 1841 & 1851 censuses at Sidney Terrace laundress). George Goodyer was probably the sexton as his signature appeared regularly as a witness in the Chelsea marriage registers, including on the marriage of Thomas West (qv) and Lucy Dallas

call on Joslyn (Doctors Commons) 2.3.1804

call on Bachelor 2.3.1804

Coming between calls on Richard Wordsworth attorney and Joslyn at Doctors Commons, this could have been some legal official but I found none in the 1800 Law List of that name, the nearest to that I found was William Batchelor a watchman of Smithfield in 1811 (Old Bailey Online)
