Vaughan

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.

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.

Keene

Submitted by edpope on

4.8.1807 dine at Johnson's w. Keene / 26.8.1808 again / 19.10.1810 again / 8.10.1812 call on Keene, Dublin (not seen) / 13.10.1812 Keene of Dublin calls

Starting with the last two entries above, this may have referred to Martin Keene 1781-1846 bookseller of 6, College Green, Dublin, or to his father Arthur Keene of Charlemont-st, Dublin will PCC 4.10.1822. As a publisher Martin Keene seems to have been anti-Catholic, and he was King's printer in partnershop with the Grirsons (Dict Irish Biog). Possibly he was also the earlier Keene at Johnson's, if he visited London most years.
