the 1796 list

Submitted by edpope on

The so-called "1796 list" is at the end of Vol VII of Godwin's diary on folios 45 to 48 after the diary entry for 24.9.1796 and is transcribed on the GD website after that day. There is an earlier version of it in Abinger c 31 f 90-92 readable online in the Western Manuscripts section of the Bodleian Library website / e-Resources / All Resources, which goes nearly to the end of 1794 and probably dates from soon after 1.11.1794 (when its last name, Wharton, appeared in the diary).

Kettle

Submitted by edpope on

14.9.1796 mes(dames) Kettle & Lloyd at Foulkes'

Godwin used the mes to include married and unmarried ladies. The only other Kettle in his diary were 2 Kettles at his mother's funeral in Norfolk in 1809, unlikely to be the same person as this entry

Cristall, Joshua

Submitted by edpope on

22.8.1796 Mr Christall at Hayes' / 13.4.1805 Christal at Thos Hope's / 29.4.1805 Cristal at exhibition / 13.2.1809 Cristal at British Gallery

None of these are coded to a person record in GD website but they are probably all Joshua Cristall DNB 1768-1847. The last three are all in the company of Dawe and two of them at art exhibitions. The first one might have referred to Cristall's father or elder brother but maybe the mr was used in an attempt to distinguish him from his sister Anne, for whom Godwin possibly used plain Cristal (or Christal) elsewhere
