Thomas William Carr solicitor to the excise died at his house Frognall, Hampstead, FRS, barrister (Morning Post 27.4.1829). Married Frances Morton 1.1.1794 at Newcastle upon Tyne. Neighbour and visitor of Barbaulds (see McCarthy, A L Barbauld, 2008), otherwise might have been his older brother Ralph Carr 1768-1837 member of Friends of the People 1792. Ralph was admitted Middle Temple 1782, BA 1789 Christ Church Oxford, called to bar 1798, Thomas William was perhaps the Carr who entered New College Hackney Sept 1788. He was admitted Grays Inn 1791. Their sister is mentioned as an artist in Farington's diary p235 & p2371. The Carr whom Godwin met on 27.6.1797 with Hardy (and who seems not to be tagged in GD website as identified or not) was likely John Carr, member of Scots Church who stood character witness for Thomas Hardy DNB 1752-1832 at his trial in 1794. The Carr at Phillips' in 1805 to 1807 was more likely John Carr DNB 1772-1832 whose Stranger in Paris was published by Joseph johnson in 1803 and whose Northern Summer was published by Phillips in 1805. Carr was knighted about 1806 and Godwin used the title in 1832 when reading a text (presumably by him), but not at subsequent meetings, if they were with him. Another Carr to consider was George carr who lived at 30 Charlton St (Oracle & Daily Advertiser 15.6.1799) so was a neighbour of Godwin at the Polygon
