William Godwin's son, William junior, was born in 1803. He was a journalist and wrote a novel titled Transfusion which Godwin had published posthumously, writing an introduction to it..
There are a number of WG entries that do not seem to be referring to William. One, at least, appears before his birth, in the company of Hannah and Harriet Godwin. And the references to W, Limehouse, to whom Godwin writes on several consecutive days, when William is barely 5, seems unlikely to be William. Moreover, Godwin is in the habit of referring to his children as F, or M or W, rather than WG. Finally there is an entry for 28 October 1810 'W Godwin married' This suggests that W Godwin is a relative relative and that the WG entries need to be separated from the William and W entries in the diary. There are 4 exceptions to this 1815-16 where we believe that Godwin uses W G to refer to William.
Godwin records his death as 'W dies, 1/2 after five, A M' 1832-09-08.
