On Thursday last, Mrs. CROZIER, at an advanced age, sister of the late Dr. CROZIER, of London—a lady of immense property, by whom several persons in this county are likely to benefit. [This death notice was retracted in the following week’s paper.] 

 

If I am right, this refers to Miss Elizabeth Crozier of Greenbank, Dalston who actually died in 1822. One of her (then) death notices said that she died possessed of an immense fortune. That included £40K in government stocks, property in Dalston, property in Caste Sowerby and property in London – possibly inherited from her brother the said Dr Crozier who had been a naval surgeon. 

The beneficiaries of her will were six nephews and nieces. Three of them were baptised as NNN child of Joseph Crozier [her brother] and Margaret Henderson late Cartmel [meaning I believe that Miss Cartmel married Mr Henderson and then “shacked up” with Mr Crozier.

One of these three was another Joseph who used the name Henderson at least until 1816. He bought The Riddings Threlkeld (where he had been schoolmaster) and was the father of the legendary hunting man John Crozier (who built my house in memory of his wife to provide a home for Threlkeld village schoolmasters)
