Title: Isaac Skinner - Rattlesden c.1739
Post by: windy_miller on Sunday 02 March 25 16:33 GMT (UK)
Good afternoon everyone,

I have located a new Suffolk miller; a Mr. Isaac Skinner (or variations to that surnamed  :) ) in an insurance policy dated 1739.  He may have been related to Isaac Clover (also of Rattlesden) at the same time?

I suppose to start looking into this chap I'd be interested in any BMD info on Simmonds and any linkage between him and Clover.

As always thanks in advance for all your help!

Who?

Isaac Skinner in the heading or Isaac Simmonds in your question.

There is an Isaac Skinner - Miller of Rattlesdon paying apprenticeship dues 5 March 1722

Thanks for the info & pointing out my error!

Skinner was the man I was after, but had just processed (into my db a miller from Bedfordshire called Simmonds).

Can I correct this is this how it will remain till the end of time? :(

Not sure if it is the same person - an Isaac SKINNER buried 1754 at Rattlesden.

There is also an Apprenticeship Indenture for Isaac SKINNER, miller of Rattlesden, Suffolk for William MILBY of Bury St Edmunds - 5 March 1722.

Many baptisms and burials for children of Isaac SKINNER at Rattlesden on FreeReg. Some have Isaac's wife as Mary. (His son Isaac married an Elizabeth). There is a Mary SKINNER (widow) buried 1763 at Rattlesden- just a possibility for her death.

The will of Isaac Skinner of Rattlesden (Archdeaconry of Sudbury 1755) is available from Suffolk Archives (IC/500/1/209/3 (https://www.suffolkarchives.co.uk/collections/getrecord/GB174_IC_500_1_209_3)).

Shlepped up to Ipswich and spent a nice sunny Saturday in The Hold.

Isaac Skinner was married to Mary, and had following children (at his death in 1754):

Elizabeth Moore (wife of Thomas Moore)
John Skinner
Mully Skinner
Susana Adgar (wife of Robert Adgar)
Rachel Parker (wife of John Parker)

Mary died in May 1763, and windmill was to be sold on her death, but I cannot see any evidence that it was sold, or kept in the family.  :(
