Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Bugg of Brettenham
« on: Yesterday at 21:18 »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a chap called Mestrick Bugg, he had a child baptised in Brettenham (Suffolk), with his wife down as Susannah (nee Beats) Bugg.  This was back in 1814.

I'd be interested in any info on him pre this date, and (very speculative) wonder if he any relationship with the Raynham family of the same village.

As always, many thanks in advance,
Windy

PS If anyone has a Suffolk miller they are chasing down, then send me an email and see if I can help. ;D

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Flintoft, Ipswich, died c.1746

Hi Queenie,

Yes, it is sad, and shines a light on how medicine has progressed!  There is a Sweffling family (can't remember the name), but they lost all their children bar 1 before the reached majority.  I suspect that was a gene thing?

Also, very interesting that Flinteft/Flintoft seem to come from north.  It did not strike me as a Suffolk name!

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Thomas Flintoft, Ipswich, died c.1746

This evening I'm trying to dig up information on a gent called Thomas Flintoft, who was dead by 1746, and I believe lived in Ipswich (may be St. Margaret's or St. Helens).

A lady called Grace Harland was administratrix of his estate.

Any help would be great!

Do either of you know where I might search for Barnaby Gilson at Lavenham.  I'd be really interested in starting to look into which mill Gilson might have been at.  There were about 4/5 mills in and around Lavenham.  It is my burden in life to research Suffolk's +500 mills.

Not enough years in me I fear.  :-X

Hi Queenie,

Great info.  Especially the Lavenham connection.

1805 reference comes from a Fire Insurance policy from the Royal Exchange (months & months going through hefty policy books several years back).  Barnby (sp) & William are described as millers & proprietors.

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Gilson/Gibson - Barking Tye, Suffolk
« on: Friday 05 April 24 22:51 BST (UK)  »
Evening all,

I'm looking for info of a miller at Barking Tye.  He went by the name of William Gilson or Gibson.  He was there in 1805, along with Barnaby Gilson (father/brother/son?).

Barnaby seems to have remained there till about he died in 1823, and Thomas (son?) took over, till between 1830 & 1841.

Any early (pre-1805) info would be great, but also ant infilling stuff would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Windy

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Thomas Quarry and Hubakkuk Layham
« on: Monday 09 October 23 22:42 BST (UK)  »
Evening everyone.

This is a cross-border raid.  The gents names above were involved in a business in Wortham, Suffolk in the early 1700s.  Hubakkuk Layham was a surgeon based at Diss, and Thomas Quarry was a yeoman who was based in South Lopham.  So they are both from Norfolk.

I'd be interested in any help establishing a connection between them an Wortham, other than it being very close to their homes  :D

Cheers,
Windy

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: William Fingay, Wortham, c.1719 - 1745?

Thanks Gobbitt,

Very interesting!  A hair merchant!  So he owned the mill and lived in Ipswich, so he must have employed a miller, or hired out the mill.

This helps greatly!
