In June 1833 local newspapers reported that Susan French was sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment for having been delivered of a male bastard child, chargeable to Stansfield. Thomas seems to have avoided jail, perhaps because he would have been unable to pay for maintenance if unemployed.

Richard may no longer be with us but perhaps these notes will help somebody.

In 1901 Ellen Pulford (born c.1884 at Gislingham) was working as a housemaid for lodging-house keeper Maria Brett at Hawarden House, Sea Road, Felixstowe. This is the fourth of six properties between Undercliff Road and Granville Road in Cowell's Directory of Felixstowe & Walton for 1909 (page 110). The occupier was then listed as Mrs Canavan but in 1920 the late Miss Brett's representative(s) published particulars for the sale of "A Semi-detached seaside residence known as Hawarden House, Sea Road, Felixstowe, recently in the occupation of the military authorities" (Suffolk Archives: HE402/1/1920/60).

Google's 2018 Street View shows a white-faced building at 4 Sea Road.

Thanks coombs.

I now see that John is indexed as "Threadhell" at both Findmypast and FamilySearch, where his bond and allegation are images 988 and 989 of 1583 on film # 004033416, accessed through the search function, but (like Findmypast's page numbers) images 448 and 449 of 545 in the 1809-1813 bundle from the NCC's browsable list.

The diocesan chancellor's surrogate, William Kett, was probably at Shottisham, where he served as rector for over 50 years.

Hi Windy

Your data would seem to come from the Ipswich Journal, as given in one of the "Historical Snippets" at http://thethreecups.com/historical-snippets about an inn named the Three Cups in Harwich:

To be SOLD to the best bidder, at the Sign of the Three Cups in Harwich, on the tenth of May, between the hours of two and five in the afternoon. A WINDMILL, about three or four years old, with all its appurtenances, situated at Arwarton, near Shotley - Gate in Suffolk, now in the occupation of widow Scarf. For further particulars enquire of Mr. Wm. Truelove, Baker, in Harwich. (The Ipswich Journal, 4th May 1765)

In Suffolk FHS transcripts and elsewhere nowadays, Arwarton is Erwarton, where Susan(nah) Coe married widower Jeremiah Scarfe in 1759. Their son James, baptised there in 1760, may have been buried at Chelmondiston in 1827 aged 68, having married Mary Lukess [Lucas?] at Erwarton in 1783 ("Scarffe"). Jeremiah Scarfe ("from gaol") was buried at Ipswich St Matthew on 21 May 1764. I don't know whether any of these people were millers but I see no more likely candidates.

Louisa's details vary in the census returns (1841 Louiza, aged between 45 and 50; 1851 Lois 56; 1861 Louisa 70). When she was buried in 1880 her age was recorded as 87, making her quite likely to be the daughter of Francis Allum and Anne née Denny born on 6 July and baptized on 28 July 1793 at Horham. This girl's name is transcribed somewhat implausibly as Issa by the Suffolk FHS. The manager of the Allum family data at Geni.com considers it to be "Unrecognisable" or "T/Fsia" and gives no further life events for her.
