by place to Borderside by marriage to Jane Hoggarth 1826 by marriage to John Hoggarth 1855 Borderside, Crosthwaite William Hoggarth was born in Crosthwaite in 1773. As a young man he probably worked in the nearby Lancashire Parish of Colton as he is recorded as being from Colton when marrying Agnes Holme at Cartmel Fell Chapel in April 1794. Married life began by living with Agnes parents at Swallowmire in Cartmel Fell. Here their first children were born. They moved in about 1800 to live and farm at Borderside in Crosthwaite for a dozen years or so before moving on to Bouthwaite, then Garth Row in Skelsmergh. Five of their ten children were born at Borderside, including Henry in 1806. Borderside was purchased in 1822 by William Pearson, a correspondent of the Wordsworths, and is written about in his recently reprinted Letters, Papers and Journals. William Pearson built a new farmhouse. The old has only recently been demolished. Pearsons live at Borderside today.
