| | Collecting Antique Clocks: A 'New' Clock by Samuel Ogden, by Brian Loomes, writer and dealer |
 | | He worked in and around Ripponden, near Halifax in his earlier years, moving to Benwell, near Newcastle on Tyne in Northumberland by 1712. |
 | | Samuel lived most of his early life at (or near) Ripponden, and his children, of which he had eight born between 1687 and 1704, were baptised in the established church at nearby Elland, where his wife, Sara, was buried in 1712. |
 | | Until recently, the only example of a longcase clock known to be made by Samuel Ogden during his period at Ripponden or at least during his pre-Alnwick days (he may not necessarily have worked at Ripponden itself throughout that time) 'went missing' a good many years ago from the Tolson Memorial Museum in Huddersfield. |
