Death

In Great Portland-st, in her 90th year, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogborne. This lady, in the year 1814, commenced the production of a History of Essex; her brother, who was an able line-engraver, contributing the plates. It was printed in quarto, but only the first volume was published, containing twenty-two parishes, in the the Hundreds of Becontree, Havering , Waltham and Ongar. From want of adequate encouragement, and the impaired means of the Osbornes it did not proceed further; although creditable to both the artist and the author.

Elizabeth Ogborne (?1763-1853) was daughter of Sir John Eliot and married in about 1790 to John Ogborne. She began her history of Essex, for which her husband drew the plates, in 1814, assisted by Thomas Leman (1751-1826) who wrote 'A Slight Sketch of the Antiquities of Essex', and her relative Joseph Strutt, an antiquary. Only the first volume, which covered 22 parishes in Becontree, Waltham, Ongar and the liberty of Havering, was published in 1817, due to a lack of encouragement and money. After sehe died in 1853, some of Elizabeth Ogborne's papers fell into the hands of her servant, and others were purchased in March 1854 by Edward J Sage, the Essex antiquary.

Proposes base born daughter of Sir John Eliot, and Jane Jackson. Married John Ogborne, engraver, c.1790, who is son of artist/engraver David Ogborne. Noting the original DNB article attributed this person to be a daughter of David, which would then appear to be a sister-in-law. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:39, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
