mrs Halker 27.3.1798 adv at Chandler's with miss Valpy

Though easily confused with the commoner name Hasker in newsprint fonts of the time, and with Walker in handwriting, Godwin seems to have written Halker, and the name did exist. She may have been governess or chaperone to miss Valpy.

Virgo 19.3.1798 adv (& Philips) at Chandlers / 13.8.1800 parson, v Virgo (on coach from Holyhead to London)

Chandler's friend John Phillips (see my entry for Phillips) was a fishmonger of Carnaby Market. Others of the name left PCC wills including John Virgo will PCC 1810 of 3 Queens Buildings Brompton Middlesex

(faux?) G Moore 14.3.1798 in coach from Bath to London

A closer look at naval records at Kew might pinpoint whether Capt Graham Moore DNB 1764-1843 might have been going from Bath to London on that day. Certainly he had been present at the Fountain Inn Plymouth on 5.2.1798 for a meeting of navy captains, after capturing several enemy vessels already that year, this from the newspapers. Godwin had met him 15 times in the years 1794-7 and knew his father and brothers as well. So what made Godwin think his fellow passenger on a long coach journey might not be the real Graham Moore?
