On 5.9.1820 Susan Barbara kelly (sister of Mrs Aders first husband) married George Bartholomew Pocock of York Street, Marylebone at All Hallows, Barking, and her husband was knighted (as Captain of Gentleman Pensioners) on 8.8.1821. See Griggs, Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, letters 1578, 1579, 1586 and 1609 for Coleridge's hopes of a sinecure as Paymaster to the Gentleman Pensioners in which Sir George Pocock is referred to as Mrs Aders' brother in law (not to be confused with Sir George Pocock 1765-1840). George Bartholomew Pocock was son of Thomas Pocock gent of Langley Farm, Hampstead Norris, Berkshire whose will was proved PCC 1831 and who had married Ann Bartholomew at Aldworth, Berks on 30.10.1775. In the 1851 census the Pococks were living at York Street and Lady Pocock's age was given as 74, born St George Somerset. However her burial record on 26.3.1854 gave her age as "about 86".
