Ebenezer not in the database - not sure where he fits in yet but they may have had more siblings.

so maybe John Raynham & the coopers ran the mill together? certainly all had financial problems!

So Ebenezer was not the father-in-law, may be brother-in-law, as he would have been about 25 when he went bankrupt and 28 when the mill burnt down.  Also looks like Sarah, his sister, was the girl that married John R.

Hi Diddy,

The info from the papers seems to imply that the mill that burnt down was fairly new in itself.  This is very interesting as I'm now wondering if Raynham's burnt down mill was a replacement for an even older mill on the same site!

Fascinating!

oh yes there was an earlier mill - google  & the wikipaedia site has:

"There have been three windmills on this site. The first mill was a post mill. It was marked on Joseph Hodgkinson's map of 1783..."

By my reckoning there might have been 4.

4  Unknown
3 Raynham's - burnt down c1814, though may have been new when destroyed
2 Clover's Old Smock Mill.  Built c1815.  Pulled down c1865
1 Clover's Tower Mill. Built c1865.  Shell still standing.
