William Morgan was a nephew of Richard Price and was a renowned host of radical figures. His brother, George Cadogan Morgan, also appears in the diary. The first W Morgan appears in 1793 - this might be G C Morgan's brother, also radically inclined, and an actuary who worked with (his uncle) Richard Price - see DNB. It seems probable that Godwin knew them both - but it is unclear what proportion of 'Morgan' entries the brothers account for. W Morgan's eldest son, also William, was also an actuary , working from at least 1817, although he died aged 28 in 1819. He was succeeded by his youngest brother Arthur. Morgan actuary has been coded as W Morgan; as have entries for W Morgan. In addition, there are a close set of entries in 1818 that begin with W Morgan and continue as Morgan, which occur while Godwin is writing Of Population where it seems likely that Godwin is consulting him on the statistics. All instances of G Morgan have been identified as George Cadogan Morgan as well as one instance of Morgan. All instances of 'Morgans' in the 1790s have been identified as either William and George Cadogan.

It is possible that other occurrences of Morgan in the diary correspond to William.
