The John here below that took over is the one that witnessed the marriage  license for Thomas Woodroffe who married Jemima Wade  who we all know had a son outside wedlock and his name was Thomas.

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?

Bert
I have been told that this mill is the one on the 1791 map with the name Woodrouffe on it (just by Heath Lane). His son John took over the lease in 1776, I believe. If this is correct, then the remains of the mill are in my garden.

Edward Woodroffe lived on a street called Short Brackland for some time and this is where our Charles Woodroffe and other siblings lived before Charles came to Canada on his own.

Hi Glenmount,

Glad I could help.

Nope, I'm in the old smoke (London), but visit Suffolk on a regular basis.

Hi Windy Miller,

Thanks for the reply, we sure would like to visit Bury someday. We were talking about a reunion with Woodroffes there but limit the attendance, who knows how many are there, I am sure there are a few. I am from Charles Woodroffe son of Edward from Bury who went to Canada in 1853/54. We will have to see if this is feasible and where we could get a meeting hall and have catering.I am 5th generation here in Canada.

Thank you for your imput.

Murray

I sent you an reply to your mail but it looks like it went elsewhere. if you did not get the mail this is the only way. To my knowledge Thomas W. married to Jemima in 1794 is the son of John and Alice W. bap 28 Nov 1748. If you can come up with a Tho W bap 1773 in this area I would be most interested.
It was suggested that on Ancestry there is a family tree for this branch of Woodroffes with Edward and Abigail of 1732 marriage on it .The bap of Edward given as 1666 ish. I don't have Ancestry so am unable to check it BUT the library versions  I have seen have a lot of suggested dates !!
best wishes for the hunt .      Sploshkin
