Found no clue to John Satchell senior's death date, he was probably the John Satchell at Limehouse in 1759 as John Satchell junior was then only 17, but thereafter it's unclear which John Satchell was meant, though the SCI member was very likely John Satchell jun (1742-1822) as his father, if he married first in 1712, would have been about 90 if still alive in 1782.

Just found this page.  Very interesting as the Thomas Horne mentioned as nephew to Elizabeth Satchell was I believe Thomas Horne (1777 Stepney - 1846 Poplar) the first husband of my great great great grandfather's twin sister Mary Norris (1816 Poplar - 1878 Clapham), they married in 1838 at St Dunstan's, Stepney.

Thomas' father was John Horne (a baker) who married Ann Bridgman in 1774 by Licence at St Dunstan's, Stepney.  There are two witnesses on the marriage the second of which is Elizabeth Satchell, the first is another Satchell but first name is feint and an abbreviation (possibly "Thos.").  Bride and groom are noted as spinster & batchelor so I'm puzzled as to how Elizabeth, herself noted as spinster on this page, could have been Thomas' aunt, definitely as she was a witness there is a connection of some sort though... perhaps a sister/brother of hers was married to a Horne so she's an "almost" aunt ??  Would be interesting to find exact connection.

I'm not 100% sure if William Horne was Thomas Horne's brother.  I have several of Thomas' siblings baptisms as well as his of course but not Williams, so I am presuming they are brothers (could be cousins).  Thomas and William were builders in Poplar involved in larger projects (Gas Works, Poplar Workhouse...) and Thomas was Clerk of Poplar parish until his death (I have photos of some of his paperwork from Tower Hamlets archives).

Thomas left his main estate to Mary with some houses left to my ggg grandfather Henry Norris who was a civil engineer specialising in construction of lighthouses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Norris_(engineer)  When william died he left further houses to Henry and other members of the Norris family so there were obviously close ties.
