Elizabeth Ogborne|1759|1853| Elizabeth Ogborne (born 1759 died 1853), historian of Essex, born at Chelmsford and baptised 16 May 1759, was daughter of engraver, contributing the plates. She was assisted by Thomas Leman, who contributed 'a Slight Sketch of the Antiquities of Essex' (printed at pages i-iv), and by her relative Joseph Strutt, the antiquary, The book was printed in quarto, but, owing to want of encouragement and the impaired means of the family, only the first volume was published (in 1817, though the title-page is dated 1814). This contains twenty-two parishes in the hundreds of Becontree, Waltham, Ongar, and the liberty of Havering, Miss Ogborne died in Great Portland Street, London, on 22 December 1853, aged 94. Some of her manuscripts fell into the hands of her servant, the wife of a marine-store dealer in Somers Town. Many of them were used as waste paper (Notes and Queries, 1st ser. ix. 322). The remainder was purchased in March 1864 by Mr. Edward J. Sage, an Essex antiquary, who happened to be passing the shop at the time.
