Elizabeth Pogson was married at Horncastle, Lincs. 31 Dec 1793 to William Townhill. The marriage records at that time do not identify parents nor provide ages of the participants. At least two Elizabeth Pogson(s) could be the bride. One was born 1768 at Horncastle the daughter of John Pogson and Elizabeth (Garland). The second Elizabeth was born 1774 at Horncastle the daughter of Peter Pogson and Mary (Jordan). Both John Pogson (b.1744) and Peter Pogson (b.1738) were sons of Robert Pogson and Elizabeth Scott married 1732 at Horncastle. William and Elizabeth Townhill lived at Chapel Hill, a hamlet in Coningsby Parish, Lincs where five children were baptised 1798-1814. By 1833 they may have returned to Horncastle as William Townhill was buried there in June of that year. In 1834 their son, John Townhill, married at Horncastle Mary Towell and one of their children baptised in 1838 was Thomas Pogson Townhill. Who is the namesake? Apparently it is Thomas Frederick Pogson, a butcher, who at Horncastle in 1840 married Charlotte Burman. The marriage record identifies the father of Thomas as Peter Pogson, a victular. In 1851 two of the children of Thomas and Charlotte were living on Far Street in Horncastle with their grandmother, Rosamond France. Rosamond was the widow of Peter Pogson buried 22 Apr 1822 at Horncastle and was married 22 Sep 1822 to George France. Peter Pogson (b.1777) was the son of Peter and Mary (Jordan) Pogson. He was also a brother to Elizabeth born 1774 and she is more likely of the two Elizabeths the bride of William Townhill in 1793. Elizabeth Pogson Townhill lived with the John & Mary Townhill family in Horncastle (1841 census) and later in Fiskerton, Lincs with John's family. She died at Fiskerton and was buried at Horncastle in Apr 1850. Would welcome comment or imput from others researching Pogson families.
