Marie Mackie - Upon writing a biography of Louisa M , nee Hogge, sister of the Hogge/Archdale brothers advises :- Various members of the Hogg 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).
