When is Georgian England? Was that during the reigns the first four, or in succession to the Victorian/Edwardian eras?

Prior to Victoria.

That’s the period known as the Regency, isn’t it?

Yes and no. The Regency is normally periodized as 1811-1820/1837 (depending on whether one narrowly focuses on the actual Regency, where the Prince of Wales became Prince Regent during George III’s incapacity, or extends it into the reigns of George IV and William IV). 

But the Georgian period starts in 1714, with the accession of George I of Hanover to the throne, and is usually considered to include the reigns of George I, George II, George III, and George IV. 

So there is some overlap.
