Godwin, John

30.10.1791 William Godwin's older brother John

28.11.1791 John sups. Given 15.1.1792 is 'Miss Godwin dines; John at supper' and has been coded on the Godwin Diary website to Godwin's older brother John, this one must surely have been him; also probably (though a bit more ambiguously) 10.2.1793. Godwin hadn't yet settled into his later JG code for his brother John. Also 24.1.1790 has been wrongly coded to him, and 17.8.1796, 28.9.1796, 29.5.1800 and Jn's 16.4.1797 missed.
