Entry in Biographia Navalis 1796 - reads =

POCKLINGTON, Christopher - was, on the 14th of November 1727, appointed captain of the Port Mahon. Notwithstanding we entertain no doubt of his having held many other commands, we do not find any of them particularly specified, except that of the Deptford, a fourth rate of sixty guns; to which ship he was appointed, in consequence of the rupture with Spain, in 1739. In the early part of the succeeding season he commanded the same ship, employed in the Channel under Sir John Morris. He quitted it when the fleet returned in port, on that ship being ordered for the West Indies under Sir Chaloner Ogle. Not finding him in any subsequent command, it may be not unreasonably presumed he quitted the line of active service, which we know him to have retired from altogether, in the month of July 1747, being put on the superannuated list, with the rank and half-pay of a rear-admiral. He died, in London, in the month of October 1766.

(N.B.)
Last sentence of above para. incorrect - he died in Dublin and not England

His father, John Pocklington, MP for Huntingdon, 2nd Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland.
His mother, Mary Hatton, 2nd daughter of Sir Thomas Hatton, 2nd Bart, of Long Stanton, Cambs.
