Otley

Submitted by edpope on

Otley 2.1.1790 at Holcroft's & 31.3.1790, 1.9.1790, 5.4.1791, 7.7.1791 there; 5.11.1791 at his; 6.7.1792 at Holcroft's; 11.11.1815 at Knowles'; 30.6.1834 Godwin calls on

Otley appeared 7 times between 1790 and 1792 always with Holcroft and mostly with known musicians (Clementi, Shield, Bosse). On 6.7.1792 Godwin listed 8 guests at Holcroft's and added 'quartets' - all the other 7 can be shown to be professional or amateur musicians which suggests Otley was a musician too

Jones, Mr & Mrs

Submitted by edpope on

Mr & Mrs Jones 17.1.1790 at Mrs Webb's / 20.4.1790 again / 25.12.1791 again / 18.12.1791 call on Mrs Jones / 18.10.1792 write to Mr Jones

This first set of Jones entries in Godwin's diary all seem to refer to one couple, friends of the Webbs. They may just possibly be Arthur Jones (died 1794) linen draper of Bath and his wife, whose daughters appear often later in the diary (see Jones, Louisa & Jones, Margaret). The Webbs were Bristol merchants trading to the West Indies.
