See his family's DNB, "Murray family".

The entries after 1807 are to the pubisher John Samuel Murray. The first entry in 1807 links him to Cooper, Constable and Philips. Later entries link him to Byron, eg. 'Call on Murray; adv. Byron' (4.8.1813) and further proof is given by Godwin's letter to Murray for 10 March 1832, which he records writing on in the Diary for that date.

The Murray in 1793 is a perruquier. There are two entries for L. W. Murray and La Murray. This is not Mansfield's wife, who dies in 1784.

'Vote for Murray' on 18 March 1833 refs not to John Murray but to Thomas Murray Esq., who stood in the Mary-la-Bonne Parliamentary election on a radical platform, but withdrew the day after Godwin records voting for him.
