Kilkenny 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's

Perhaps Edmund Butler 1771-1846 who married 1793 Mildred dau of Robert Fowler (DNB 1724-1801 archbishop of Dublin) and was created Earl of Kilkenny 1793, but he was said to have been insane by 1799. Mary Kilkenny widow of St Pancras will PCC 1843

Ogilvie

Submitted by edpope on

Ogilvie 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's

Ogilvie or Ogilvy was a common name but mainly Scottish, as mrs Plunket's gathering was probably mainly Irish this could have been William Ogilvie Dict Irish Biog 1740-1832. William Ogilvie DNB 1736-1819 who wrote to Godwin 28.7.1793 (Bodleian Abinger c2 f26) and whose book (te 0263 in GD website) Godwin had read on 13.11.1792 and 14.11.1792, he also read on 28.11.1792 and 12.12.1792 but these have not been coded to that text on GD website. (He was not likely to have been the Ogilvie at Plunket's)

Brown, Lady

la. Brown 25.9.1800 at mrs Plunket's

Lady Charlotte Brown, eldest dau of Earl of Kenmare = May 1802 George Goold, Old Court, Cork / Margaret (nee Lorinan) = c1792 John Edmond Browne 1748-1835 created Baronet 1797, she died 1843 will PCC 1844 of Holles St Dublin / Marion nee Henderson = 1798 Sir James Brown Brown. These three seem the only possibles from Burke's Peerage & lists of knights, the last was Scottish so less likely as this was probably a mainly Irish gathering

C & B

Submitted by edpope on

sup with C & B, Marlb. Strt  23.9.1800 / 11.10.1800 call on Cn / 17.10.1800 C sleeps / 18.10.1800 C at Perry's

John Philpot Curran DNB 1750-1817 & James Boaden DNB 1762=1839, the only C and only B already named that day. Godwin had Curran to dinner, then went to the theatre with him, where they met Boaden and all three supped together. The other Cn & C entries above all surely referred to Curran but not coded to him in GD website

Le Grice

Le Grice 16.9.1800 at Lamb's

Brothers Samuel Le Grice 1775-1802, Charles Valentine Le Grice 1773-1858 see Letters of Charles & Mary Lamb. Winifred F Courtney "Young Charles Lamb" p282 gives a good reason why this entry was Samuel
