In January 1728, a David Mallett is indentured as an apprentice to a Thomas Flinteft of Ipswich, miller.
In May the same year, Thomas Flinteft of Ipswich, single, and Elizabeth Walker of Brantham, widow, married in Brantham by licence.
Their first child, Thomas, was baptised on 10th June 1729 at Ipswich St Peter. He was buried on 13th June 1732.
Robert was baptised on 13th April 1731 at the same parish, but was buried only 8 days later.
William was baptised the same day as Robert, but was buried only 2 days later.
On 5th November 1731, Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas Flintoft, was buried at Ipswich St Peter.
How desperately sad for this family, to lose 3 children and the mother.
Thomas himself was buried on 21st September 1746 at Ipswich St Peter.
Grace Harland, wife of George Harland, was buried on 23rd August 1750 at Ipswich St Peter.
On 3rd November 1730, Grace Flintoft of either Yarm, Yorkshire or Darlington, Durham and George Harland married in Yarm by licence. She was aged 25, so born c.1705. Likely Thomas' sister?
