Three Dawes have been distinguished - George, Mary, Philip and Carline. Dawes in the diary have been coded as George Dawe, including, Daweand G. Dawe; M Dawe; C Dawe (1806); Dawe senr (1806).
Contacts date from 1802, when the context immediately suggests an artist (eg. adv at James Northcote's). There are also meetings at the British Museum and at an exhibition. There are also a great many contacts between 1805-10, which suggest a connection to the juvenile library. Identification seems to be confirmed through the artistic context of meeting and the correct dates for Dawe's death and funeral. Also, the long period with no contact, 1818-28, coincides with Dawe's years in Russia.
The first variation of entry is a reference to Dawe senr (15 July 1805), probably the artist's father Philip. From August 1805 there are also appearances of M and C Dawe. Dawe never married and so it seems likely that the M Dawe who appears around 20 times is his sister Mary Margaret Dawe (1785-1871), also a professional artist. C Dawe is probably her sister Caroline, and 'Dawes' has been coded as a reference to George and Mary, as the diary and the DNB suggest that she was the closest sibling he had.
G Dawe appears in May 1809 and February 1810. We have taken this as tow instances of Godwin's inconsistency - there seems no reason why he suddenly adds an initial, but we have good reason to think doing so is far from an isolated case. Nor do we believe there the introduction of the initial casts doubt on the identification of all the other 'Dawe' entries.
Mary Shelley'sJournal suggests that Shelley refused a proposal from Godwin and Richard Hayward to negotiate with a Mr Dawe for a loan in 1816 (December). In fact, a loan was secured and Shelley received his share (£100) on 6 December 1816, but it seems not to have been negotiated with Dawe but with another lender, and there is not much evidence in Godwin's Diary to suggest that Dawe was involved, or that it was one of these Dawes. There is only one Dawe entry for 1816 in September.

An Irish emigré, Mulready was sponsored by Thomas Banks to be taught at the Royal Academy Schools in 1800 aged 14. He was the primary illustrator for Godwin's Juvenile Library, claiming to have executed 307 designs in two years at 7s. 6d. each (DNB). He was a frequent visitor to Godwin’s home, along with John Linnell and George Dawe.
In 1808, there’s an entry for ‘Linnel, 1st lesson’, and a letter from Charles Clairmont to Godwin indicates that Mulready and Linnell were sketching together on a trip with Charles to Hampstead Heath (Charles Kegan Paul, William Godwin: His Friends and Contemporaries, II, p. 168).The Looking Glass: a True History of the Early Years of an Artist (1805), written by Godwin and published by the Juvenile Library, was based upon conversations between Godwin and Mulready (DNB). According to the DNB, some of Mulready’s designs were engraved by William Blake, and Mulready worked alongside George Cruikshank (1792–1878), who also worked in Godwin's children's bookshop.

Entries for Turner as Thomas Turner begin in 1803, the year the young Thomas Turner sent his letter of introduction (‘I totter on the brink of perdition and call on you to save me…at 8o’clock this evening I shall call at your house’) dated 4 July 1803 – printed in St Clair pp. 300–01. The diary records his visit later that evening - and 'T Turner' listed in the '1796 list' under '1903' seems to further support this identification.
Turner married Cornelia Boinville in 1812 and later qualified as a lawyer (p. 301). See St Clair pp. 384–8 for a summary of the Turner/Shelley relationship/personal drama. But see also MS. Abinger c. 11, fols. 77-8: 28 Jan. 1812 Godwin to Patrickson, where Godwin says he presumes P has heard of TT’s marriage to Miss Boinville – TT says she will have £10,000 on her marriage – Godwin thinks he marries solely for money. Godwin refers to Turner in a later letter to Patrickson Dep. b.228.8-07 10.7.1812 in which he says that 'Turner is an unlucky specimen. And after all his letters were not worth writing, mere chips in porridge.'
There are a variety of other Turner entries distinguished by initials, but these are unidentified.
C Turner has not been coded as Mrs Cornelia Turner. In most cases these entries seem to have no grounds for linking the entry to Turner and his wife. For example, in 1814 C Turner calls from Mackintosh.
A further Mr Turner is a lawyer who appeared on the stage in the leading role of Macbeth in 1798, and whom Godwin saw on that occasion and subsequently in 1804. According to newspaper reports, the acting was not a success. This Turner seems unconnected to others.
T Turner is recorded on Godwin's '1796' list for 1803.
