Bugg of Brettenham

[windy_miller]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a chap called Mestrick Bugg, he had a child baptised in Brettenham (Suffolk), with his wife down as Susannah (nee Beats) Bugg.  This was back in 1814.

I'd be interested in any info on him pre this date, and (very speculative) wonder if he any relationship with the Raynham family of the same village.

As always, many thanks in advance,
Windy

PS If anyone has a Suffolk miller they are chasing down, then send me an email and see if I can help.

Windy,
Good to hear from you.
A marriage on FindMyPast (transcript only - 8 Oct 1806, place Naughton, wife Susannah Beats) has first name as Meshach.
Other baptisms to the pair also show Meshach or Meshick.

The '41 Census confirms born in County, age 60.

Hi Hannah & Ciderdrinker (ummmm, cider!),

Wow!  Thanks, so much info!

Seems he moved around the area a bit over his life time.  Also interesting that he was a apprentice at 20 yo, seems a bit old for those days.  Seems it was a successful stint though as he was described as "miller" by 1814.

Cheers for now,
Windy
