4.10.1807 Mul. sups

This should be added to the person record on GD website for William Mulready (DNB 1786-1863) who frequently supped with Godwin

E T

Submitted by edpope on

2.10.1807 E T en bas

The only other uses of E T in Godwin's diary were twice in 1830 where it was clearly associated with R T which certainly meant Richard Taylor (DNB 1781-1858). R, E & A Taylor had breakfasted with Godwin on 26.9.1807, six days before the above entry. So I suggest this was Edward Taylor (DNB 1784-1863), Richard Taylor's younger brother, who has a person record on the GD website

Gibbs

Submitted by edpope on

23.9.1807 call on Gibbs

One of only two Gibbs entries in Godwin's diary, the other being Rev Gibbs, spouter, he shared a coach with in 1812.

Possibly Vicary Gibbs (DNB 1751-1820) but Gibbs was a common name and too many possibles to list

Fargues

Submitted by edpope on

17.9.1807 Fargues calls / 8.10.1807 again / 29.10.1807 call on Fargues

Francis Peter Fargues copperplate printer & engraver 48 Berwick-st (St James Westmr P O directory 1810). Age 26 of St Botolph Aldgate he took a license to marry Sarah Downing 5.6.1782. Bankrupt 1824. A Francis Peter Fargues was still on electoral register at Berwick-st in 1842, he was dead by 1853 (Standard 14.1.1853)

Gooch

Submitted by edpope on

11.9.1807 dine at Johnson's w. Gooch /  2.2.1820 seek Gooch

The only two Gooch entries in Godwin's diary, and 12 years between them, so they may not have referred to the same person, Possibles:

Robert Gooch (DNB 1784-1830) had graduated MD from Edinburgh in June 1807 and then worked for a time under Astley Cooper in London. He could have also been the 1820 entry.

Perks

9.9.1807 seek Hepburn & Perks

Buchan

Submitted by edpope on

6.9.1807 Carlisles, Buchan & John Flather call / 16.11.1807 Carlisle, Buchan & mrs Topping call / 18.11.1807 Jo(seph) G(odwin) calls, & Buchan (not seen) 

The GD website has a person record for Dr Alexander Peter Buchan (DNB 1764-1824), but the above entries are not coded to him. Although calls on the same day could have been quite separate, the fact that Buchan followed Carlisle on the first two entries above suggests that this was Dr Alexander Buchan, a known associate of Anthony Carlisle, and so presumably was the third entry, only two days later. 

Vaughan

Submitted by edpope on

6.8.1807 call on Taylor (Vaughan) / 12.8.1807 Vaughan at S(kinner) S(treet)

The two Vaughan entries above probably referred to the same person. The previous use of Vaughan was 1798 and the next was in 1810. Godwin seems to have been arranging for someone to sleep at his Skinner-st shop, so on 7.8.1807 Hooley sleeps 4 nights in S S, on 11.8.1807 Godwin himself sleeps at S S, on 12.8.1807 Vaughan at S S, so this Vaughan was probably someone paid to sleep there, possibly an apprentice or employee of Richard Taylor's.

Corbet

Submitted by edpope on

11.8.1807 call on Corbet, w. T(homas) T(urner) : Bow Street, w. Corbet & T(homas) T(urner), warrant / 12.8.1807 Bow Street, Lep(ar)d, Humphrys, H(odgkin)s, Corbet, M(arshall) & T(homas) T(urner)

The only (living) Corbetts in Godwin's diary, from the context very likely an attorney, so probably William Corbett of 2 Field-st Grays Inn. He was baptised 30.5.1768 holborn son of Kean & Sophia of Bartletts-bldgs, and articled 1786 to his uncle Richard Corbett of Bartletts-bldgs.
