The GD website allots some of the Parry entries to Dr Caleb Hillier Parry and his son Charles Henry. My judgement is that none of the entries in Godwin's diary belonged to the doctors, and only the Dr Parry entries in Holcroft's diary referred to them, and then to correspondence rather than meetings. All the other Parry entries in both diaries referred to the brothers James and John proprietors of the Courier newspaper' Looking at all the entries in both diaries suggests that John Parry was Parry jr and usually the Parry at Debrett's, so the Parry in 1796 list was more likely James who was also Parry senr and Parry Hammersmith
