Godwin notes meeting 'Cristal' on several occasions, linked to Wollstonecraf, Johnson and others. He also met his mother Elizabeth and his sister Anne . Anne's poetry was published by Joseph Johnson and there is evidence of her acquaintance with that circle. Joshua is referred to on several occasions in Wollstonecrafts correspondence, with two being directed to him. The entries to 'Cristal' may be to Anne rather than her brother - but they have been coded as distinguishing her brother. There are connections in addition with Mary Hays for both.
