Breakfast at Edwards's 14.8.1800 / 19.8.1800 call on mrs Edwards (in London)
In his letter to James Marshall (Bodleian Abinger c6 f37r) Godwin says he breakfasted "by the most purely accidental recommendation, at the house of a most stupid dog, at Mr Edwards, a brewer, whose town house is in Portman Square, and who has built himself a mansion in the Vale of Llanrwst". The only reference I found to Edwards in Portman Square was the will PCC 1794 of John Edwards, servant of Samuel Whitbread, Portman Square, whose family connections, judging from the will, were in South Wales. Holdens 1811 listed a William Edwards Esq of Pantgendle, near Llanrwst, and the will PCC 1824 of William Edwards of Llanrwst mentioned no London connections, only North Wales ones. Since the call on mrs Edwards was the first call Godwin made on his return to London, she was probably the wife of the stupid dog
