Sounds good to me!

So the mill passed from Richmond, to Broome to Clarke all without sale.  Fantastic & thanks.

I don't think I'll be able to push ownership much earlier than William Richmond without a little luck!

Time to move to my next mill!

Yes.  He married into the Lee family of Lavenham millers - He had been a blacksmith but progressed to millwrighting.

I'm not sure he actually was miller at Rattlesham and may have been there to carry out work on one of the three mill in the village.
