Maria Ingledew (née Bourda)

The trustees (Jacob Bernelot Moens and John Henry Latham) of Charles Ingledew of the City of London and Maria (his wife, late Maria Daly, a widow, formerly Maria Bourda, a spinster, one of the surviving children and co-heiress of the late Joseph Bourda) were awarded the compensation for a group of 41 enslaved people in British Guiana.

1. Maria Daly had married Longking [sic] Ingledew at St Matthew Bethnal Green London 29/10/1827. Longking Ingledew was also reportedly known as 'Charles Bereseford Ingledew' although it is unclear whether he was the Charles Beresford Ingledew 'formerly of Ebury-street, Pimlico, then of No. 18, Paul-street, Finsbury-square, then of Belle Vue Villa Friern, Barnet, then of No. 15, Duncan terrace, City road, and late of No. 20, Great Cambridge Street, Hackney-road, all in Middlesex, Gentleman' who was imprisoned for debt in London in 1838.

2. 'Ingledew, Maria' of Southampton aged 67 who was buried in the Church vaults at St Mary Islington 13/04/1849 is very probably the same woman.

3. The share of a Joseph James Ernest Ely under the trusts in this award was still dormant in Chancery in 1933. He was the husband of Anna Phoebe Horlock, in turn the granddaughter of Andreas Christian Boode (q.v.) through the marriage of Phoebe Boode to Isaac John Webb Horlock.
