• Name: Godwin, Hull (Philip)
• Gender: Male
• Birth Date: 13  March  1765
• Occupation: farmer

Philip 'Hull' Godwin was one of Godwin's older brothers. The initials P G, P H G, and Hull Godwin have been all coded as him. The pattern of their contact is confirmed by other information we have (from Godwin's biographers), that Hull lived in Norfolk and raised his family there. Most of the entries for Hull are write to and in 1805 this seems to change from Hull G to PHG, but these entries are also mainly write to - and there's no reason to think that Godwin is doing anything other than changing the initials by which he refers to his brother. On one occasion, Godwin refers to Hull as HG (4 Sep 1805), a set of initials he usually uses for his sister, Hannah.

There are also references to PG in the diary. This seems to be a different person, whom Godwin sees in London, often in the company of Hannah. It is possible that this is the child of one of Godwin's brothers or sisters, or a cousin. But the evidence in the diary suggests that Godwin is intending to denote someone other than Hull Godwin when using the initials PG.
