Newcome

Newcome 29.6.1800 on Holyhead coach (from Barnet) / 2.11.1813 call on Newcome

William Newcome DNB 1729-1800 archbishop of Armagh died 11.1.1800, his will PCC proved 6.6.1800 by his widow Anna Maria (nee Smyth her will PCC 1828 Clifton, Glos) in London. Perhaps Godwin was referring to her but though he seems to have often used plain surnames for actresses and authoresses I don't think he would have used one for an archbishop's widow on a first meeting on a coach

Talbot

Submitted by edpope on

Fell, S Elwes & Talbot call (not in) 11.6.1800

The only Talbot in Godwin's diary and Godwin didn't even see him, but I could still hazard a guess on Montague Talbot DNB 1774-1831 actor. His last appearance at Drury Lane theatre was a week later on 18.6.1800 and he then removed to Ireland and married an Irish actress that autumn. Consider also Thomas Talbot DNB 1771-1853 but there were plenty of other Talbots who this could have been
