Mayes

Submitted by edpope on

2.5.1808 coach, w. Mayes, &c (via Cambridge to Swaffham, Norfolk)

Only time this name occurs in Godwin's Diary so I'll resist the temptation to guess, except to mention Mr Mayes, farmer of Gresham, Norfolk will PCC 1821

Mellon

22.4.1808 Mellon dines at Joseph Johnson's

Not likely to be actress Harriet Mellon DNB 1777?-1837 as very few women attended Johnson's dinners. But no other clues

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rosiere

Submitted by edpope on

22.4.1808 Rosiere dines at Joseph Johnson's

No clues. Rosier quite a common English name but spelling with an e suggests a Frenchman

Peto

Submitted by edpope on

16.2.1808 Peto calls / 21.11.1812 again / 23.11.1812 again / 18.11.1813 again

Possibly Henry Peto DNB 1774-1830 builder and contractor. The two calls in 1812 coincide with mentions of the (Sun) Fire Office, though not clearly linked to them. Godwin is in Fire Office records for Skinner Street 14.12.1812

Nason

Submitted by edpope on

25.2.1808 Nason calls / 8.4.1808 again

No clues. Often an Irish name

Submitted by edpope on

Only the last of these five probably different randoms gives any clue. PCC wills for Hughes of Maidstone: Thomas, farmer 1842 / James, milkman 1843 / Charles, gentleman 1848 / William, confectioner 1849
