General Notes: Husband - Henry Cobham


He received an excellent classical education, being a graduate of Brasenose College, Oxford, England, where he took his degree of A. M. He became a barrister of distinction and a master in chancery, having chambers in Lincoln's Inn, London; and upon his introduction to the Prince Regent, afterward George the Fourth, his highness recalled his knowledge of the family, remarking that they were not unknown to him.


General Notes: Wife - Catherine Curry


After the death of her husband, she then resided with her late husband's aunt, Miss Alice Cobham, at No. 16 St. Anne Street, Liverpool, where her youngest child was born. Miss Alice Cobham at this time owned a seven-eighths interest in the house in which she lived, the remaining one-eighth having belonged to her deceased nephew, Henry Cobham, and reverting to his heir. She also owned the Newchurch estates the Brex, Edge Lane, Elton Meadow, and other properties, besides the Fearns and Tunstead estates,-to all of which her nephew's eldest son was heir-at-law.
