- Various
members of the Hogg/Hogge clan were partners in Setch
Brewery. The first in 1802 would be either George
HOGG (III) 1748-1811, or his son George
HOGG (IV) 1772-1847.
- The
Hoggs were wealthy merchants and ship-owners of Lynn -- George
(III) had thirteen surviving children. In 1830
most of the family assumed the final 'e' and became HOGGE,
though some sources still mistakenly give Hogg.
- Dying
in 1847, the childless George Hogge (IV)
left his share in Setch Brewery to his brother William
HOGGE 1785-1862 (he lived in Biggleswade, Beds,
where he was involved in brewing as a partner in
Wells & Co/Hogge & Lindsell; he had moved there
after marrying the daughter of brewer Samuel Wells --
who had at one time been a partner in Biggleswade of
Dennis Herbert, first owner of Setch Brewery,
interestingly enough). In Setch Brewery, William
Hogge was in partnership with his friend William Seppings,
a lawyer, of Lynn (exact dates unknown).
- In
1861 William Hogge left the Setch shares to his son, yet
another George Hogge (V) who lived
1817-1901. William Seppings eventually
handed on his half to his son (I believe this was Col
Thomas Seppings).
- George
Hogge (V) was not much of a businessman, preferred to be
in London and ended up as a writer, though he retained his
shares in Setch brewery. (They acquired two of the
new hotels in the new town of Hunstanton St Edmunds
in the 1860s.)
- In
1866 this last George Hogge (along with his brothers
Fredk and Charles) changed his name by deed poll to Archdale.
But the Setch business evidently kept on with the
name Hogge and Seppings. When
George (Hogge) Archdale died in 1901, having no
children of his own he left his shares in the brewery
to his nephew George Fitzroy Archdale
1864-1939 (son of Fredk).
