Thomas Richard Beaumont 1758-1829 (History of Parliament) married 1786 Diana, illegitimate dau & heiress of Sir Thomas Wentworth Blackett.  MP for Northumberland 1795, changed to voting against reformers by 1810. Mrs Beaumont was a relative of Bosville's so she was very likely at his in first entry above. The next four entries in 1795 and 1796 may well have been her husband.

The Beaumont with Rickman  twice in 1801 was probably Charles Beaumont, Rickman's cousin who was Capt 87th foot killed 1807 at Montevideo. His will PCC 1808 mentioned his cousin John Rickman

The two Beaumonts of 1804 probably referred to a work by Holcroft, that Godwin discussed and proofread. GD website has coded the second of these to te1499 "unable to identify"

Sir George Beaumont DNB 1753-1827 was surely the entry at Northcote's in 1805. He was a painter but John Thomas Barber Beaumont DNB 1773-1841 or another seems more likely for the painter who called in 1824

Sir Adamis Beaumont. Jean Framcois Albanis Beaumont DNB 1755-1812
