PS.
I agree how badly son Edward seems to have been treated!  Not only did he only get 1 shilling, but he had to ask for it!

Sploshkin and Windy,

Are we saying Edward was born the same year his mother died?
Maybe if so there were complications with the birth (as was so common then), and John's wife died giving birth, which made John resent his new son, the rest being history, just a guess mind?

Bert.

Sploshkin, Windy,

(John and Alice's son John inherited the mills. I must say I felt quite sorry for Edward.)

((This is still the Windmill in Horringer yes?))

Thank you both for the very interesting updates. I wish it would explain for me how this will came to be included in a bundle of documents that belonged to Marlow & Co Builders of Bury St Edmunds referring to the sale of properties in and around Bury. One of the directors I believe lived at Horringer Hill House, maybe this is the connection? But this is a whole new search thread I am guessing.

Bert.

Yes send a pm and I will send scanned picture to you, I must just say that hookleg on this thread has been of the most amazing help to me on my quest to locate the site of the old windmill, much thanks to him and yourself for all the great updated information.

Hi Windy Miller (Great name by the way)

.The will originally was made in 1759, and I dare say when John died in 1775 was when it was witnessed?
I can let you know the names of the witnesses later if you like, only I don't have the paper with me at present.
I can let you see a scan of the will if you like.
Which house was it that got struck, was it the one that was later rebuilt and is pictured on stedmundsbury website next to the windmill?

Hello,

Its just that I have this will, and it was whilst researching the name I came onto this site, sad its of no help.
However I wish I could locate the windmill in Bury that the will states was left to his son John?

I have an old Will and Testament of a miller from Bury St Edmunds, John Woodroffe dated 1775 from an original made in 1759.
It mentions the following Woodroffe's Edward son, another John son, Thomas son, James son, Alice Sarah Elizabeth daughter, Isabella daughter, Aliro wife.

Not sure if there is any connection, but the said John Woodroffe in his last will and testament leaves just one shilling to his son Edward due to his 'undutiful towards me'?  His son John he leaves his Windmill set in Common Ground in the Parish Of Saint Mary's, Bury Saint Edmunds.

May be of help.
