Suffolk Lookup Requests / Deaths in WESTON in December 1778 and Early January 1779?

« on: Tuesday 29 August 17 21:27 BST (UK) »

Hi,

My records show a miller and his man were killed in WESTON in December 1778 or early 1779. The death was reported in the Ipswich Journal on Jan 8th.

I'm looking for the men's names so can anyone furnish me with the names of fellows who died between 1st December 1778 and 8th of January in the parish of WESTON?

I can then try to whittle them down to the actual casualties.

Many thanks,
Windy

Suffolk / Bumstead Moore of Ousden c1806-09

« on: Wednesday 16 August 17 22:42 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Another quick request for info.

This chap was a miller in Ousden between 1806 and 1809 (when he died). Who was he married to and where did he come from?

His son took over the business but was killed by the mill in 1819. Was he married?

Any help would be great!

Suffolk / Damant Castell of Occold in about 1822

« on: Wednesday 16 August 17 20:32 BST (UK) »

Hi Rooters,

I'm looking for any info on a miller called Damant Castell. He was associated with one of the mills in the village and I understand he may have moved to Brooke in Norfolk later.

Any nuggets would be good but family (wife's maiden name) and even correct spelling of his name would help!!!

Cheers,
Windy Miller

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Miller in Haverhill (1768)

« on: Wednesday 05 July 17 23:12 BST (UK) »

HI,

I was wondering if anyone has easy access to the Newspaper Archive. I'm looking for the name of a miller who was selling his mill in August 1768. I believe it was for sale at the Queen's Head (Inn?) in Haverhill.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me his name!

Cheers,
Windy Miller

Suffolk / Cobbold V Rushbrook - 1839?

« on: Wednesday 24 May 17 21:47 BST (UK) »

Evening everyone,

Today I'm looking for any information regarding a dispute between Robert Knipe Cobbold (a miller?) from Eye and a millwright called Rushbrook from Diss. My note suggests that this was in court in July or August 1839, but I have been unable to locate anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Death of 9 year old boy in Bungay - 1777

« on: Wednesday 05 April 17 21:23 BST (UK) »

I'm hoping that someone will be able to find the name of a 9 year old boy on 01/02/1777. He died in Bungay where his father was a miller. This is about all I know

I suppose he will have been buried within a day or two, but I have no idea which of the Bungay parishes he would have been buried in.

Ideally I'm looking for a name and surname.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Windy

Suffolk / Baranaby Gilfton of Errington and Offton (1764)

« on: Friday 24 March 17 16:00 GMT (UK) »

Hi all,

My never-ending search for Suffolk's millers and their mills have lead me to look into Barnaby Gilfton. He appears to have been letting out a windmill in Errington, Suffolk in 1764 (he was miller at Offton the same year).

I cannot find much about him, but if that is not problematic enough I cannot find Errington anywhere in Suffolk (apparently it is/was about 8 miles from 'Swich?).

Interestingly enough Offton, where Barnaby was, is also 8 miles from Ipswich!

Any help will be gratefully accepted,
Windy

Suffolk / James Bumstead, Battisford (c1803)

« on: Wednesday 15 March 17 22:05 GMT (UK) »

I have located a miller(?)/mill owner(?) from Battisford who was selling parts of a mill in 1803. The man was James Bumstead and he was in poor health at the time. (Did he die shortly afterwards?). I've searched the papers but had no luck finding anything else, so any pointers would be a great help.

Ideally other family names, his death date etc.?

Cheers for now,

Windy

PS he may have had a link with a Mr. Fulcher (from Stowmarket), though that may be a red herring.

Suffolk / John & Jesup Weeding - Walton, Suffolk

« on: Tuesday 28 February 17 00:05 GMT (UK) »

I've recently been looking at Manorial records and it seems that John & Jesup (son?) Weeding had a connection with a windmill in Walton. I have them there in about 1821 to 1823. I think John died about then, but I cannot prove it.

I'd be interested in any one who knows where "Home Close" field was in Walton and what happened to Jesup after his father died; did he marry, when did he die, etc?

I also think the mill may have been in the hands of James Bacon before the Weedings (pre-1816) so I'd been interested if there is connection there to.

Lots of questions and I'd be grateful for ANY help!
