27.10.1788

Identified, probably wrongly, in GD website as the cartoonist Isaac Cruikshank. Given the many medical men and their wives at Miss Williams' tea parties this seems more likely to have been William Cruikshank (DNB 1745-1800). He was partner to Hunter, whose widow also attended the tea parties, and then to Baillie, who did as well.

On 27.11.1794 Godwin supped at Shield's with Crosdill, adv Collick & Smith, and on 1.3.1795 he supped at Holcroft's with Shield, Smith musn & Thelwall. He could also have been the Smith at Thelwall's on 2.2.1795 and/or the Smith at Holcroft's on 22.4.1795, but see Smith, George. The will PCC 1823 of James Smith, musician of Woolwich may have been his.
