Moore, Thomas (1779–1852), the Irish poet and diarist, DNB, first appears in the diary in 1802 (and is noted as a new contact in the 1796 Diary list), where there is a link with Curran; he reappears in 1806 at Philips's. He reappears twice in 1813, linked to Curran; once in 1816; three times in 1818, once linked to Hazlitt; one in 1819; twice in 1828, and once in 1832. Marshall and Locke both identify T Moore as the diarist and suggest that he is present at a meeting to celebrate Bulwer Lytton's election campaign in 1830, along with Roy, Augusta Leigh and Disraeli, but Godwin's record in 1832 is as follows: Bulwer’s , w. Ramoon Roy, Jerdan, Boddington, T Moore.

The letter from Thomas Moore, MS. Abinger c. 12, fol. 23: 5 May 1818, letter refers to the posibility of Godwin calling at Sloperton, the home in Calne that Thomas Moore lived in for the rest of his life after the death of his first child (and conveniently close to his new patron, Lord Landsdown). A similar letter is to be found in MS. Abinger c. 15, fol. 53: n.d. There are also two erarlier letters from Thomas Moore, MS. Abinger c. 11, fols. 71-2: 8 Nov. 1811 and MS. Abinger c. 11, fols. 75-6: 21 Nov. 1811. In this last, Moore apologises for not being able to give Godwin any of his work as he is bound by contract for all he does to Mr Power in Dublin. There is also correspondence relating to Byrnon with Mary Shelley.
