The first four Wilson entries in the diary, in 1788, have been identified in the GD website as John Wilson 1761-1818, though the person record is just called Wilson and covers many possible Wilsons.

In David Fallon's article "Booksellers in the Godwin Diaries" (Bodleian Library Record April 2011) the Wilson at Debrett's is identified in the bar chart on p29 as Richard Wilson MP, though the text doesn't mention him. In History of Parliament there are two possible Richard Wilsons, one an attorney who became a member of the Whig Club in 1785, was friends with Sheridan in Whig theatrical circles, was land agent to the Duke of Northumberland, and briefly became MP for Ipswich in 1806-7. The other was an Irishman regarded as a scoundrel who married well, became MP for Barnstaple in 1796 and went over to the opposition early in 1797 because the government didn't trust him. Either of these could have been the Wilson at Debrett's or at the theatre, but the names Godwin notes at the House of Commons are generally those of other spectators/reporters.
