Jesse Foot DNB 1744-1826 surgeon.  A good example of how Godwin varied spelling of names randomly

Roger Wilbraham Hist of Parl 1743-1829 was a great admirer of Fox. He had been an MP until 1796. He was later known as a patron of literature and science but I didn't yet discover any connection with the Crown Office

Mara 7.4.1802 oratorio at Drury Lane

Gertrud Mara DNB 1749-1833 which says she left England 1801 but newspaper ads make it clear she sang in London up till April 1802, see Morning Post 22.4.1802 which announced she was to quit England in a few weeks

Sealy calls 03.04.1802

A fairly common name (spelt also Sealey, Seally) and just one call on Godwin. see work notes for possibles

call on Downman 3.4.1802

Perhaps John Downman DNB 1750-1824 (which says he was itinerant after 1800). Compare call on Cosway 20.3.1802, both uncommon names, both could have been the artist of that name, and both called on by Godwin once but never featured in his diary again.

Burder's Brook Street 2.4.1802 call on with Fenwick / 17.6.1802 call on Burder

Holden's 1811 had a Mr John Burder, 29 Brook St, Holborn in the private residents' list. Land Tax 1813 York Place Islington John Burder, 1814-1821 Snow Hill, Holborn. British Book Trades Index 1817-8 J Burder 58 Snow Hill Holborn Bridge press maker & mangle maker. John Burder aged 68 of Holborn buried Bunhill Fields 16.4.1820. In 1806 a John Burder farmer of Enfield was advertised as quitting his business. George Burder DNB 1752 -1832 may have been a relative.
